Introduction
• In many situations, such as a bullet hitting a carrot, we
cannot use Newton’s second law to solve problems because
we know very little about the complicated forces involved.
• In this chapter, we shall introduce momentum and impulse,
and the conservation of momentum, to solve such problems.

Momentum and Newton’s second law
• The momentum of a
particle is the product
of its mass and its
velocity:
• Newton’s second law
can be written in
terms of momentum
as
What is the momentum of a 1000kg car going
25 m/s west?

can be written in
terms of momentum
as
What is the momentum of a 1000kg car going
25 m/s west?
p = mv = (1000 kg)(25 m/s) = 25,000 kgm/s west

Impulse and momentum
• Impulse of a force is product
of force & time interval
during which it acts.
• Impulse is a vector!
• On a graph of Fx versus
time, impulse equals area
under curve.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
Impulse and momentum
• Impulse-momentum theorem:
Impulse = Change in momentum J of particle during time
interval equals net force acting on particle during interval
• J = Dp = pfinal – pinitial
(note all are VECTORS!)
• J = Net Force x time = (F) x (Dt)
so…
• Dp = (F) x (Dt)
• F = Dp/(Dt)

Compare momentum and kinetic energy
• Changes in momentum
depend on time over
which net force acts
But…
• Changes in kinetic energy
depend on the distance
over which net force acts.

Ice boats again (example 8.1)
• Two iceboats race on a frictionless lake; one
with mass m & one with mass 2m.
• Wind exerts same force on both.
• Both boats start from rest, both travel same
distance to finish line.
• Questions!
• Which crosses finish line with more KE?
• Which crosses with more Momentum?

Ice boats again (example 8.1)
• Two iceboats race on a frictionless lake; one with mass m and
one with mass 2m.
• The wind exerts the same force on both.
• Both boats start from rest, and both travel the same distance to
the finish line?
• Which crosses the finish line with more KE?
In terms of work done by wind?
W = DKE = Force x distance = same;
So ½ m1v12 = DKE1 = W = DKE2 = ½ m2v22

Since m2> m1, v2 < v1 so more massive boat loses

one with mass 2m.
• The wind exerts the same force on both.
• Both boats start from rest, and both travel the same distance to
the finish line?
• Which crosses the finish line with more p?
In terms of momentum?
Force on the boats is the same for each, but TIME
that force acts is different. The second boat
accelerates slower, and takes a longer time.
Since t2> t1, p2 > p1 so second boat has more momentum

Ice boats again (example 8.1)
• Check with equations!
• Force of wind = same; distance = same
• Work done on boats is the same, gain in KE same.
• ½ m1v12 = DKE1 = W = DKE2 = ½ m2v22
• And m1v1 = p1; m2v2 = p2
• ½ m1v12 = ½ (m1v1) v1 = ½ p1 v1 & same for ½ p2 v2
• ½ p1 v1 = ½ p2 v2
• Since V1 > V2, P2 must be greater than P1!
p2 > p1

A ball hits a wall (Example 8.2)
• A 0.40 kg ball moves at 30 m/s to the left, then
rebounds at 20 m/s to the right from a wall.
• What is the impulse of net force during the collision,
and if it is in contact for 0.01 s, what is the average
force acting from the wall on the ball?
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
A ball hits a wall (Example 8.2)
• Initial momentum: -12 kg m/s
• Note! Sign, Magnitude, Units!
• Final momentum: +8 kg m/s
• Change: (+8) – (-12) = +20 kg m/s in the x direction
• J = +20 kg m/s x
• Time: 0.01 seconds
• Force(x) = Dp/Dt = 2000 kg m/s/s = 2000 N in x

• Keep px and py separate; find p(net) by adding magnitudes and
getting the angle relative to your coordinate system

Kicking a soccer ball – Example 8.3
• Soccer ball 0.40 kg moving left at 20 m/s, then kicked up & to
the right at 30 m/s at 45 degrees.
• Px initial = mvx(initial) = -8.0 kg m/s in x
• Px final = mvx(final) = 0.4 kg * 30 m/s * cos (45) = +8.48 kg m/s in x

An isolated system
• The total momentum of a system of particles is the vector sum
of the momenta of the individual particles.
• No external forces act on the isolated system consisting of the
two astronauts shown below, so the total momentum of this
system is conserved.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc.
Conservation of momentum
• External forces (the normal
force and gravity) act on the
skaters, but their vector sum
is zero. Therefore the total
momentum of the skaters is
conserved.
• Conservation of momentum:
If the vector sum of the
external forces on a system
is zero, the total momentum
of the system is constant.

Remember that momentum is a vector!
• When applying
conservation of
momentum, remember
that momentum is a
vector quantity!

Momentum is a VECTOR
• Use vector addition to add momenta in COMPONENTS!
• Keep px and py separate; find p(net) by adding magnitudes and
getting the angle relative to your coordinate system

A two-dimensional collision
• Two robots collide
and go off at
different angles.
• You must break

components and deal
with each direction
separately

Types of Collisions

Elastic collisions:
o
Total kinetic energy is unchanged (conserved)
o
A useful approximation for common situations
o
In real collisions, some energy is always transferred

Inelastic collisions: some energy is transferred

Completely inelastic collisions:
o
The objects stick together
o
Greatest loss of kinetic energy

Elastic collisions
•In an elastic collision, the total
momentum of the system in a
direction is the same after the
collision as before if no external
forces act in that direction:
•Pix = Pfx
•mavai +mbvbi =mavaf +mbvbf
But wait – there’s more!

•In an elastic collision, the
total kinetic energy of the

Elastic collisions
•In an elastic collision,
•Difference in velocities initially =
(-) difference in velocities finally
• (vai - vbi) = - (vaf – vbf)
•Solve generally for final velocities:
vaf = [(ma-mb)/(ma+mb)]vai +
[2mb/(ma+mb)]vbi
vbf = [(mb-ma)/(ma+mb)]vbi +
[2ma/(ma+mb)]vai

Inelastic collisions
• In any collision in which the
external forces can be
neglected, the total momentum
is conserved.
• A collision in which the bodies
stick together is called a
completely inelastic collision
• In an inelastic collision, the
total kinetic energy after the
collision is less than before the
collision.

possible.

the velocity of the center of mass.
• The center of mass of the wrench
