Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics
Introduction
• Previously, problems dealing with the motion of
particles were solved through the fundamental
equation of motion,
F  ma.
• The current chapter introduces two additional
methods of analysis.
• Method of work and energy: directly relates force,
mass, velocity and displacement.
• Method of impulse and momentum: directly
relates force, mass, velocity, and time.

If you wanted to bring the package to a complete stop at the
bottom of the ramp, would it work to place a spring as shown?
No, because the potential energy of the spring would turn
into kinetic energy and push the block back up the ramp
Would the package ever come to a stop?
Yes, eventually enough energy would be dissipated
through the friction between the package and ramp.

to characterize the “bounciness” of
different sports equipment. The U.S.
Golf Association limits the COR of
golf balls at 0.83
Civil engineers use the
coefficient of restitution to

Impact
• Impact: Collision between two bodies which
occurs during a small time interval and during
which the bodies exert large forces on each other.
• Line of Impact: Common normal to the surfaces
in contact during impact.
Direct Central Impact
• Central Impact: Impact for which the mass
centers of the two bodies lie on the line of impact;
otherwise, it is an eccentric impact..
• Direct Impact: Impact for which the velocities of
the two bodies are directed along the line of
impact.
• Oblique Impact: Impact for which one or both of
the bodies move along a line other than the line of
impact.

Direct Central Impact
• Bodies moving in the same straight line,
vA > vB .
• Upon impact the bodies undergo a
period of deformation, at the end of which,
they are in contact and moving at a
common velocity.
• A period of restitution follows during
which the bodies either regain their
original shape or remain permanently
deformed.
• Wish to determine the final velocities of the
two bodies. The total momentum of the
two body system is preserved,

Sample Problem 13.14
SOLUTION:
• Resolve ball velocity into components
normal and tangential to wall.
• Impulse exerted by the wall is normal
to the wall. Component of ball
momentum tangential to wall is
conserved.
A ball is thrown against a frictionless,
vertical wall. Immediately before the
ball strikes the wall, its velocity has a
magnitude v and forms angle of 30o
with the horizontal. Knowing that
e = 0.90, determine the magnitude and
direction of the velocity of the ball as
it rebounds from the wall.
• Assume that the wall has infinite mass
so that wall velocity before and after
impact is zero. Apply coefficient of
restitution relation to find change in
normal relative velocity between wall
and ball, i.e., the normal ball velocity.
