Chapter 9
Impulse and Momentum
• How do I define momentum?


• How do I determine the impulse given to an object?


• How do I define the angular momentum of an object?
Newton’s Second Law
• F = ma


• Dropping a book


• Does the F = ma help us?


• Hitting a ball?

Impulse and Momentum
• If the force on an object is constant, the impulse is the product of the
  force multiplied by the time interval over which it acts


• Because velocity is a vector, momentum is also a vector


• Similarly, impulse is a vector because force is a vector


• This means signs will be important for motion in one dimension
Baseball Being Hit
•   Impulse is the area under the Force
    time curve


•   For this example, impulse N·s


•   Direction?


•   Area = impulse = 13.1 N·s
After the ball has been hit?
m = 0.145 kg
v = -38 m/s
Impulse = 13.1 N·s
Final momentum?
Final speed?
Example
A 2200 kg vehicle traveling at 94 km/h can
in be stopped in 21 s by gently applying
the brakes. It can be stopped in 3.8 s if
the driver slams on the brakes, or in 0.22 s
if it hits a concrete wall. What average
force is exerted on the vechicle in each of
the stops?
Applications
• What happens to the driver when a crash suddenly stops a car?


• An impulse is needed to bring the drivers momentum to zero


• A large change in momentum occurs only when there is a large impulse


• A large impulse can result either from a large force acting over a short
  period of time or from a smaller force acting over a long period of time


• Air bag


• Bending legs when you jump
Angular Momentum
• We can also talk about momentum for angular motion


• Angular velocity only changes if a torque is applied


• Spinning?
