  12. Momentum Back to Collisions 2 Click Back to • A friction-compensated inclined plane is prepared as shown. Two trolleys are placed on the inclined plane. Different kinds of collisions are performed by the trolleys.

  13. paper tapes trolleys friction-compensated inclined plane Momentum Back to Collisions 2 Click Back to • Paper tapes which pass through a ticker timer are attached to the trolleys. Hence, we can study their motions in different kinds of collisions.

  16. Momentum Back to Collisions 2 Click Back to • We consider the result in inelastic collision. The data obtained is shown in the following table. • The quantity, mass x velocity is called momentum. • The total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

  17. Before collision In contact F F Momentum Momentum 2 Next Slide • Consider the collision of two balls in space as shown • The only forces arise in this collision are the forces acting on each ball by another one. • We say that there are no external forces and the conservation of momentum holds.

  18. Before collision In contact F F friction friction Rough surface Momentum Back to Momentum 2 Click Back to • Consider the collision of two sliding balls on a rough surface as shown. • Apart from the forces acting on each ball by another one, we also have friction acting on the balls. We say we have external force (friction). • The conservation of momentum does not hold when we have external force.

  19. Before collision After collision +ve Momentum Back to Momentum 3 Click Back to • Two identical balls (2 kg) are moving towards each other with the same speed 3 m s-1. After collision, one of the ball is bounced backwards with speed 1 m s-1. Find the velocity of the other ball. • By conservation of momentum, • Velocity of the ball : 1 m s-1 (forward)

  20. Before collision After collision +ve Momentum Back to Momentum 3 Click Back to • Two identical balls (2 kg) are moving towards each other with the same speed 3 m s-1. After collision, one of the ball is bounced backwards with speed3 m s-1. Find the velocity of the other ball. • By conservation of momentum, • Velocity of the ball : 3 m s-1 (forward)

  21. Before collision After collision +ve Momentum Back to Momentum 3 Click Back to • Two identical balls (2 kg) are moving towards each other with the same speed 3 m s-1. After collision, the two balls stick together. • By conservation of momentum, • Velocity of the ball : 0 m s-1

  22. Before explosion After explosion v +ve Momentum Back to Momentum 3 Click Back to • Two identical balls (2 kg) stick together and are at rest initially. Some explosive is placed at the conjunction between the two balls. After explosion, One ball moves forward with a velocity 4 m s-1. Find the velocity of the other ball. • By conservation of momentum, • Velocity of the ball : 4 m s-1(backward)

  23. Momentum Collisions 1 Next Slide • Daily Examples: (Newton’s colliding balls)

  24. Momentum Collisions 1 Next Slide • Daily Examples: (Newton’s colliding balls)

  25. Momentum Back to Collisions 1 Click Back to • Daily Examples: (Rocket is accelerating in space.) • Daily Examples: (A cannon ball is fired from a cannon.)

  26. Momentum Back to Collisions 1 Click Back to • When a car collides with a fixed wall on the ground, it seems that the momentum of the car disappears. • If we view the wall with the earth as a whole object, then the car actually collides with a very large object. Conservation of momentum still holds but the motion of the wall plus the earth is so small that it can hardly be observed.

  27. A B A B FA FB A B Momentum Impulse 1 Next Slide • We consider the collision of two balls as shown in the following figure. • Before collision • They are in contact for time interval t (time of contact). FB and FA are forces acting on B and A respectively when they are in contact. • After collision

  28. Momentum Back to Impulse 1 Click Back to • Consider the average force FB and average acceleration of B during the time of contact t : • FB t = Change in momentum • We define FB t as the impulse.

  29. Before Collision +ve v After Collision Momentum Impulse 3 Next Slide • A car (mass 2000 kg) is moving with a speed 20 m s-1 has an head-on collision with a lorry (mass 5000 kg) which is initially at rest. After collision the lorry moves forward with 10 m s-1. Find the velocity of the car after collision and hence find the average force acting on the car if the time of contact is 0.2 s.

  30. Momentum Back to Impulse 3 Click Back to • By conservation of momentum, • Consider the impulse • The minus sign of the answer indicates that the direction of the force is backwards.

  31. fixed wall Before collision fixed wall After collision Momentum Impulse 3 Next Slide • A ball (mass 2 kg) is moving towards a wall with a speed 30 m s-1 . After collision, the ball moves backwards with a speed 20 m s-1 . Assume that the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.1 s. Find the average force acting on the ball and the wall respectively.

  32. Momentum Back to Impulse 3 Click Back to • Consider the impulse acting on the ball • The force acting on the ball is 1000 N. The minus sign of the answer indicates the direction of the force is acting backwards. • The force acting on the wall by the ball is also 1000 N, which is exactly the same as the force acting on the ball by the wall (Why?). • In this case, the conservation of momentum fails since the wall is fixed. However, we can still find the force acting on the ball.
