Impulse and Momentum
Some more extremely useful relations are the concepts known as
impulse and momentum. Conservation of momentum underlies
several important physical laws in a variety of scientific
disciplines from quantum electrodynamics to fluid mechanics. A
derivation for this fundamental quantity is shown below:

Conservation of Linear Momentum
Starting from a generalized expression for momentum



 Fdt   d mv    dP
We can take the derivative of both sides of the equation:


Fdt  dP
And we arrive at another expression for Newton’s Second law.
The force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

F  0  P  P  const.
Thus, when the net force on an object is zero, then the
momentum must be constant. This is the famous law of
conservation of momentum.

Relation between Force and Impulse
As shown in previous slides, the impulse can be written as:



I   Fdt   dP
If the force is constant over a discrete time interval, then it can
be taken out of the integral and the impulse is re-written as:
 



I  F  dt  Favg t  P  mv
This equation is very useful for modeling collisions, because
the force of impact is not usually known (or measurable), but
the initial and final velocities are known and/or measurable.

Angular Momentum
Like linear momentum, there is also an expression for angular
momentum, which describes how much inertia an object carries in
rotating about a coordinate center. While its derivation will be
reserved for later in this course, the mathematical expression is
given here as:

v
Path of
particle

r



HO  r  mv
The cross product denotes that the angular
momentum points in an entirely different
 direction
from the instantaneous position vector, r , and the
instantaneous velocity vector . The direction can
be found according to the right-hand rule. The O
means that the angular momentum is taken with
respect to the origin.

We define this new vector, M, which is the rate of change of angular
moment, and it is called the moment of force about a pivot. Note: If the net
force (or moment in this case) is zero, then it leads directly to the law of
conservation of angular momentum.

Momentum according to Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov wrote in "Understanding Physics": “This
tendency for motion (or for rest) to maintain itself steadily
unless made to do otherwise by some interfering force can be
viewed as a kind of "laziness," a kind of unwillingness to make
a change. And indeed, Newton's first law of motion is referred
to as the principle of inertia, from a Latin word meaning
"idleness" or "laziness."
He added a footnote: "In Aristotle's time the earth was
considered a motionless body fixed at the center of the
universe; the notion of 'rest' therefore had a literal meaning.
What we ordinarily consider 'rest' nowadays is a state of being
motionless with respect to the surface of the earth. But we
know (and Newton did, too) that the earth itself is in motion
about the sun and about its own axis. A body resting on the
surface of the earth is therefore not really in a state of rest at
all."

Central Forces
In many forces, such as gravitational, electrical forces, etc., the magnitude of
the force only depends on the distance away from the source (i.e. r 2 ), and
the direction is always towards or away from the source rˆ .
