Momentum• All objects have mass; so if an object is
moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion.
• The amount of momentum which an object has is dependent upon two variables:
– how much matter is moving?
– how fast the matter is moving?
• Momentum: "mass in motion”• Equation: p = m x v• Unit: kg*m/s
Momentum
• Momentum is a vector quantity.
Momentum
Consider a Mack truck and a roller skate moving down the street at the same speed. The considerably greater mass of the Mack truck gives it a considerably greater momentum. If the Mack truck were at rest, which would have the greater momentum?
If an object is at rest, the momentum of that object is “0” because there is no mass in motion.
Momentum Questions
1. Determine the momentum of a ...
a.) 60 kg halfback moving eastward at 9 m/s.
b.) 1000 kg car moving northward at 20 m/s.
c.) 40 kg man moving southward at 2 m/s.
p = 540 kg*m/s, east
p = 20,000 kg*m/s, north
p = 80 kg*m/s, south
Momentum Questions
2. A car possesses 20,000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if ...
a.) its velocity were doubled b.) its mass were doubledc.) both its velocity and mass were
doubled
p = 40,000 units
p = 40,000 units
p = 80,000 units
If the boulder and the boyhave the same momentum,will the boulder crush the boy?
Hint: think about the momentum formula!
p = mv

IMPULSE – A force applied for a period of time which results in a change of momentum.
Impulse = change in momentum
F∆t = ∆p = ∆(mv)
F∆t = mvf - mvi
F∆t = m (vf – vi)
To change the momentum of a body, a force must be applied to the mass. The longer this force is applied to the mass, the greater effect it will have on changing the momentum.
The Wall The Haystack
Impulse
• A change in momentum in a short time requires a large force.
• A change in momentum in a long time requires a small force.
Greatest velocity change?Greatest acceleration?
Greatest momentum change?Greatest Impulse?
Therefore, a larger Force and impulse occurs!

does it take giant S curves?

Conclusion: summarize what you have learnt from the lab
The momentum of a system
remains the same unless acted upon by an
external force.
Hey! It’s the Law!
To change momentum, exert an impulse on it.An outside push or pull is required to change momentum.

Follow-up Question: Would you want to fire a rifle that has a bullet ten times as massive as the rifle? Explain.

Three Types of Interactions
1. Bouncy Interaction – two objects collide and bounce off each other. No permanent deforming damage.
m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
2. Sticky Interaction – two objects collide and stick together. Final velocities are the same.
m1v1i + m2v2i = (m1 + m2)vf
2. Explosion Interaction – two objects explode and move apart from each other.
m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
The Next Michelle Kwan…? A softball player wishes to determine
her mass. She glides without friction along on some ice skates at 1.5 m/s, and throws a ball of 0.8 kg mass at 27 m/s. She then determines that she has slowed to 1.2 m/s. What is her mass?
Ans: m = 68 kg

A truck and a car collide head on. The speed of the truck was 20 m/s, and that of the car was 30 m/s. The truck has a mass of 5 times that of the car. If they stick together after the collision, how fast are they moving, as a unit, just after the collision?
