8.1 Linear Momentum and Force

8.1 Linear Momentum and Force

  • The average effective force is determined using graphical representation.
  • Average force and impulse are calculated.
  • The principle of momentum is related to atomic and subatomic particles.
  • Determine the final velocities in an elastic collision.
  • Reckless energy and loss are determined by the mass and initial velocity.
  • Discuss two-dimensional collision as an extension of one-dimensional analysis.
  • Determine the magnitude and direction of the final velocity.
  • Explain the principle behind jet engines.
  • Discuss the factors that affect the rocket's speed.
  • Most of the ways we use the term momentum are consistent with its scientific definition.
    • Sports teams or politicians are gaining and losing.
    • We know that there is something to do with collisions.
    • The rugby players in the picture colliding and falling to the ground are expected to have great effects in the resulting collision.
    • A tendency to move in the same direction is associated with great mass and speed.
  • It is important because it is conserved.
    • In our study of momentum, we will see that only a few physical quantities are conserved in nature, and that studying them yields fundamental insight into how nature works.
  • The object's mass and speed are directly proportional to the object's momentum.
    • The direction of the momentum is the same as the velocity.
    • The SI unit is for momentum.
  • We can only calculate the magnitude of the momentum because no direction is given.
  • Only magnitudes are considered.
  • Substitute the known values for the player's mass and speed into the equation to determine the player's momentum.
  • Substitute the known values for the ball's mass and speed into the equation to determine the ball's momentum.
  • The player has more mass than the ball.
    • The player's momentum is much greater than the football's.
    • The player's motion is not affected if he catches the ball.
    • We will quantify what happens in the later sections.
  • Early in the development of classical physics, the importance of momentum was recognized.
  • The law uses symbols to show where the net external force is, the change in momentum, and the change in time.
  • The net external force is the change in momentum of a system.
  • Both force and momentum are related.
    • Newton's second law of motion, which states that force acting over time can change momentum, can be stated in its most broadly applicable form.
    • The study of atomic and subatomic particles in quantum mechanics uses the concept of momentum.
  • A special case is included in the second law of motion.
    • As follows, we can derive this form.
  • The mass of the system is constant.
  • The second law of motion can be applied to systems where the mass is changing, such as rockets, and to systems of constant mass.
  • Venus Williams hit the fastest serve in a premier women's match, reaching a speed of 58 m/s.
  • The problem is only one dimensions because the ball has no horizontal component before impact.
