AgendaWarm-UpIntro to Change in MomentumNotes:Impulse-Change in MomentumCalculating ImpulseConservation of MomentumObjects Pushing Off of Each Other (Recoil)Problem Solving PracticeMomentum and Impulse Quiz Friday2Objectives: We Will Be Able ToUnderstand the relationship between the time interval for which a force is applied and the change in an objects momentum.Solve problems with changes in momentum.Understand the relationship between Newtons Third Law and the Law of Conservation of Momentum.Calculate speeds of objects pushing off of each other (recoil problems).Warm-Up:If you were falling from a second floor window, would you be safer if you fell onto a concrete sidewalk or a mattress? Why? (Do not just say the mattress is softer.)Discuss at your table, and we will discuss as a class in a few minutes.Impulse The Change in MomentumImpulse The Change in MomentumTo change the momentum of an object, assuming that it doesnt lose any mass, you must change its speed.It will either get faster or slower.

What is the difference between a car that gradually comes to a stop, and a car that slams into a wall?Hint, the change in momentum is the same because the change in speed is the same.

Impulse The Change in MomentumThe difference between gradually coming to a stop and slamming into a wall is how long it takes.

Gradually coming to a stop: it takes a long timea small force is appliedSlamming into a walltakes very little timea large (dangerous) force is applied

Impulse The Change in MomentumImpulse is the change in an objects momentum.Impulse depends on how much force is applied, and for how long. This determines by how much the speed of an object changes.

Units: kgm/s (same as momentum)Practice ProblemsA 1200-kg car traveling at 15 m/s comes to a stop. What is its starting momentum?What is its final momentum?What is its change in momentum?A 140-N force is applied to a 10-kg bowling ball for 3 seconds. What is the bowling balls change in momentum?

Homework:Impulse-Change in Momentum Worksheet#1-4 Due ThursdaySeparate Sheet of Paper!Warm Up:What do we mean when we say that something is conserved?Write 1-2 sentences in your notebook, then discuss at your table.The Law of Conservation of MomentumThe Law of Conservation of MomentumWhat does the word conservation mean?You probably said save dont waste maybe preserveIn physics, conservation means that nothing is lost or gained. Nothing is created or destroyed.THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM: when we say that momentum is conserved, we mean:

The Law of Conservation of MomentumIn other words: the total momentum that exists in a system does not change. Momentum just transfers from one object to another.

The Law of Conservation of MomentumWhere does this law come from?When two objects interact with each other:they interact for the same amount of timeN3L says that the forces on the objects must be equal and oppositeIf the forces are equal and opposite, then the momentums are equal and opposite!

The man and the ball have equal momentum in opposite directions.RecoilRecoilWhen two objects push off of each other from a stationary position, this is called recoil.A skateboarder throwing a ball.A person jumping off the Earth.A rifle shooting a bullet.Conservation of Momentum in Recoil:

Momentum ofObject 1= Opposite of Momentum of Object 2

Recoil PracticeAn 80-kg astronaut floating (stationary) in space throws a 5-kg moon rock at 8 m/s forward. What is the astronauts speed after he throws the rock?-0.5 m/sWrap-Up: Did we meet our objectives?Understand the relationship between the time interval for which a force is applied and the change in an objects momentum.Solve problems with changes in momentum.Understand the relationship between Newtons Third Law and the conservation of momentum.Calculate speeds of objects pushing off of each other (recoil problems).
