Chapter 9 IMPULSE AND MOMENTUM COLLISION PROBLEMS A tennis ball and racket collision: a microscopic view COLLISION: FORCE VS TIME GRAPH A large force exerted during a small interval of time is called an impulsive force. LINEAR MOMENTUM The product of the particle’s mass and velocity is called the linear momentum p = mv As a vector quantity‚ the momentum can be represented in terms of its components: px= mvx py= mvy ALTERNATIVE FORM OF NEWTON’S SECOND LAW F = ma = m(dv/dt) =

Impulse and Momentum Lab Formal Lab Write Up Content Guide ( /3) Abstract : The abstract should explicitly state what law you are trying to show. State the three quantities that you are calculating and what you are hoping to show (what does the law say?). Give a brief explanation of the results. ( /15) Background : The topics included in the background should contain‚ but are not limited to: what is the definition of momentum and how is it calculated what are the differences and similarities between momentum and energy

Force‚ Motion‚ Newton’s Laws‚ Momentum‚ and Impulse What is force? Force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object. There are two types of force‚ contact forces‚ and forces resulting from action-at-a-distance. A contact force can be frictional forces‚ normal forces‚ applied forces‚ and air resistant forces. The formula for contact force is F = ma. This type of force occurs when two objects are contacting each other physically. If you kick a ball

The law of conservation of momentum states that momentum can neither be created nor destroyed; the total momentum of any closed system must remain the same. Momentum is mass times velocity. Thus‚ a ten pound object moving at 5 meters per second has the same momentum as a 2 pound object moving at 25 meters per second (for example). In order to alter the motion of one object‚ you have to transfer the momentum to another object. Now‚ this principle is not intuitively obvious‚ because we are constantly

What is momentum? Momentum of a body is defined as the mass multiplied by the velocity of this object. Momentum= m x v Momentum and Newton’s second law of motion: The resultant force is proportional to the change in momentum per a second. We know that force = mass x acceleration. So F (mv-mu)/t F m (v-u)/t = ma so F=kma Momentum is a vector quantity: Momentum has a direction as well as a magnitude Momentum and Newton’s first law of motion: An object remains at

Sara Otto Intro to Literature (MTWR‚ 8AM) In Class Writing Assignment on “A & P” July 8‚ 2013 Professor Sullivan Word Count: 916 Impulse The short story “A & P” by John Updike is a corky and humorous read. The casual‚ self-venting‚ adolescent depiction of an absurd event that unfolded in a small town grocery store is a peculiar and yet entertaining read for all audiences. The theme of this story has to do with adolescent stressors‚ choices and consequences‚ and standing up for what one

MOMENTUM QUESTIONS 1. Which has greater momentum: a train at rest or a moving skateboard? Since the train is not moving‚ it has zero momentum. The skateboard‚ as long as it has some speed‚ will have more momentum‚ since p = m*v. 2. What are the ways to increase impulse? Impulse depends on the magnitude of the applied external force and the time that the force acts on the system. By increasing either of those‚ impulse on a system will be increased‚ and the system’s momentum will change accordingly

Lab: Momentum Conservation Abstract This experiment aims to test the law of conservation of momentum by using cart and track system. Procedure 1. Put two carts onto the track. 2. Hit the button on the cart so that they start to move at opposite directions. 3. Find the position where the carts hit the end at the same time. 4. Find the distance that each cart traveled. 5. Repeat step 1-4 with 500g and 1000g weights on one of the carts. Data and Calculation m1m2=x2x1

Angular momentum and its properties were devised over time by many of the great minds in physics. Newton and Kepler were probably the two biggest factors in the evolution of angular momentum. Angular momentum is the force which a moving body‚ following a curved path‚ has because of its mass and motion. Angular momentum is possessed by rotating objects. Understanding torque is the first step to understanding angular momentum.<br><br>Torque is the angular "version" of force. The units for torque are

Rebecca Nov. 2013 Kyle‚ Mat‚ Alex Lab M7 Conservation of Momentum Abstract: This experiment involved the use of gliders on an air track which nearly isolates the colliding system from external forces to create low friction totally elastic and inelastic collisions. Seven different collisions were made‚ four elastic and three inelastic. The collisions consisted of only two gliders with varying masses and speeds. Each glider cart was equipped with a flag‚ and its passage through a photogate
