8.1 : Momentum & Its Relation to Force
8.9 : CM & Translational Motion
Momentum is a vector symbolized by symbol p and is defined as p=mv
direction same with velocity
Force is a measure of velocity of the change
of momentum over time
Total momentum does not changed
only change in direction
LAW
The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant
When the net external force objects is zero, total momentum remains constant*
Impulse - The product of force and the time
Momentum is conserved in all collisions
Collisions in which KE is conserved called ELASTIC , &
those in which it is called INELASTIC
The total KE of the system is the same b4 & after
More Equation
Sum P(initial) = Sum P(final)
Sum K(initial) = Sum K(final)
Sum of KE is lost thermal or potential energy
Complete inelastic collisions which objects stick together afterward
Sum K(initial) = Sum K(final) + losses energy
STEP TO SOLVE
- Make sure write the full equation if elastic or inelastic
- Resolve in X-axis & Y-axis
- Simplify and solve y-axis
- Check units and magnitudes of result
CM will closer to the larger mass
The total momentum of a system of particles
is equal the product of total mass & velocity of CM
The total force is equal to total mass multiplied by acceleration of CM
Ma_cm = Sum F_ext
