PPT-Conservation of Momentum - Outcomes

State the principle of conservation of momentum Demonstrate the principle of conservation of momentum Solve problems about conservation of momentum Discuss conservation of momentum in eg collisions spacecraft aircraft. If a system has . no external forces . acting on it (. eg. no friction), then the system is . isolated.. Total momentum in an isolated system is said to be . conserved. . . A . system. is a pair or group of objects that are interacting in some way.. http://www.aplusphysics.com/courses/honors/momentum/conservation.html. Unit #4 Momentum. Objectives and Learning Targets. Define and calculate the momentum of an object.. Determine the impulse given to an object.. Pg. 222- 227. Momentum & Impulse. The driver of this race car walked away from the car without a scratch. Luck had little to do with this fortunate outcome though – a practical application of Newton’s laws of motion by the engineers who designed the car and its safety equipment protected the driver from injury. Excerpts . from . Chapters 9 and 11. Impulse and Momentum. Newton’s . 2nd. Law of motion can be rewritten by using the definition of . acceleration. as the change in . velocity. over the change in time.. Momentum is Conserved. So . far, . we . have only . considered the momentum . of . one object at a time.. Now we will look at two . (or more) . objects interacting with each other. .. Picture this. . . . (Linear) Momentum, p. ● . is mass times velocity. . . vector. !. . ● . . (p) = kg m/s. ► . a 1 kg object moving at 1000 m/s has the same momentum as a 1000 kg object moving at 1 m/s (p = 1000 kg m/s). Momentum = Mass x Velocity. p. =. mv. The SI unit for momentum is . kg·m. /s. Momentum and velocity are in the same . direction. Is a vector. Using the equation. p=. mv. At the same velocity, as mass increases – momentum increases. Momentum = Mass x Velocity. p. =. mv. The SI unit for momentum is . kg·m. /s. Momentum and velocity are in the same . direction. Is a vector. Using the equation. p=. mv. At the same velocity, as mass increases – momentum increases. By Jonathan. Recap:. Last week we talked about countersteering. What was . countersteering. ?. Turn in the other direction in order to complete a turn.. A while back we mentioned velocity. What was . Momentum. – tendency of objects to keep going in the same direction with the same speed. Depends on mass and velocity. Has direction. The momentum of a ball depends on its mass and velocity. Ball B has more momentum than ball A. Law of Conservation of Momentum. With no external force, momentum doesn’t change. It’s the opposite of the impulse momentum relationship!. Ft = Δmv. Example. Consider a gun being fired.. A gun recoils when it is fired. . Momentum is a quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object.. Unit of Momentum. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object’s mass and the object’s velocity.. Work Energy and Momentum Physics Unit 3 This Slideshow was developed to accompany the textbook OpenStax Physics Available for free at https:// openstaxcollege.org/textbooks/college-physics By OpenStax Momentum. Measures how hard it is to stop a moving object.. Momentum can be defined as . "mass in motion.". . All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. .
