Momentumany moving object will have both momentum and kinetic energy
We use a lowercase p for momentum – here is the formula
vmprr⋅=
Notice that this is a vector, so you will have to break into components when adding up the momenta of several objects.

if the momentum of an object changes, then either its mass or its velocity must have changed. In most cases, we will consider the mass to be constant, so a change in momentum will mean the object accelerated (velocity changed).
So there must have been a force applied to it. This gives us a formula:
tFpJ avg ∆⋅=∆=rrr
This is just Newton’s 2nd Law – can you see why?

Typical Example:
A golf ball (initially at rest) is struck by a club, and the ball is given a velocity of 50 m/s.
If the mass of the ball is 46 grams and the club is in contact with the ball for 5 ms, what is the average force applied to the ball by the club?

If the mass of the ball is 46 grams and the club is in contact with the ball for 5 ms, what is the average force applied to the ball by the club?
We can find the impulse (change in momentum) directly in this problem:
The ball starts at rest, so the initial momentum is 0.
After the club hits it, the ball has momentum p =(0.046kg)(50m/s)=2.3kg-m/s
Prepared by Vince Zaccone
For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB
After the club hits it, the ball has momentum pfinal=(0.046kg)(50m/s)=2.3kg-m/s
So the impulse is ∆p=2.3kg-m/s

After the club hits it, the ball has momentum pfinal=(0.046kg)(50m/s)=2.3kg-m/s
So the impulse is ∆p=2.3kg-m/s
Now we can divide by ∆t to find Favg=460N
- Impulses always occur as action-reaction pairs- Longer impact time means smaller force, and vice-versa“Real-Life” Examples:Automobile safety:DashboardsSeatbelts and AirbagsCrumple zones

Conservation of MomentumAs long as there are no outside forces, the total momentum of a system of objects will not change.
We will use this idea mainly in collision problems (but it is much more fundamental, and always applies)

Conservation of MomentumAs long as there are no outside forces, the total momentum of a system of objects will not change.
We will use this idea mainly in collision problems (but it is much more fundamental, and always applies)
Collisions (2 main categories)Elastic Collisions – KE is conserved (no dissipative forces)
A good approximation for things like billiard balls
Your textbook has shortcut formulas for head-on elastic collisions (page 244).
Prepared by Vince Zaccone
For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB
Inelastic Collisions – some KE is lost due to dissipative forces during impact
Special Case: When the objects stick together, the collision is perfectly inelastic. This will be the easiest type of problem to solve, because there is only 1 object after the collision.
Momentum is conserved in all collisions.
Use conservation of momentum first in all collision problems.
Use these formulas if you want to avoid some possibly difficult algebra
Example: A 100kg man and a 50kg boy are at a father-son ice skating jamboree. The man skates toward his son at a speed of 5 m/s, and picks the boy up and puts him on his shoulders. If their final speed is 3 m/s, find the initial velocity of the boy.

This is a perfectly inelastic collision (they stick together). So we only need conservation of momentum.
Write down the initial and final momentum for the system, then set them equal.
