Momentum is defined as the product of mass and the velocity. Its value depends on mass and velocity of the moving object. MOMENTUM p=mv , Where : p =momentum m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s) Example: 1. A 325 kg motorcycle is moving at 140 m / s , south. Compute the following: a. momentum b. at what velocity is the momentum of 1754 kg car equal to the motorcycle
Given: m (motorcycle) =325kg v (motorcycle)=140 m/s Required : a. p (motorcycle) =? b. v (car) =? p = mv p = (325kg) (140 m/s) = 45, 500 kg.m /s m=1754 kg p = 45500 kg.km/h v = p/m = 45500kg.m/s 1754 kg v =25.94 m/s
Remember this: Equation to use If you are looking for…. If you know p=mv momentum Mass and velocity m = p/v mass Momentum & velocity V= p/m velocity Momentum and mass Given Problems : A bowling ball whose mass is 4.0kg is rolling at a velocity of 2.5m/s. What is its momentum? Given: m = 4.0kg v = 2.5 m/s p = mv P = (4.0 kg) (2.5 m/s) p = 10 kg.m /s
2. A skateboard is rolling at a velocity of 3.0 m/s with a momentum of 6.0 kg.m /s. What is its mass? Given: v = 3.0 m/s p = 6.0 kg.m /s m = p/v m = 6.0 kg.m /s 3.0 m/s m = 2.0 kg 3. A pitcher throws a baseball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a momentum of 10 kg.m /s. What is its velocity? Given: m = 0.5 kg p = 10 kg.m /s v = p/m v = 10 kg.m /s 0.5 kg v = 20 m/s
IMPULSE Impulse is a force when multiplied by the duration (time) applied to the object. It requires a force to change the momentum of an object. I = Ft Where: I = impulse (N.s) F = force (N= kg.m /s2) t = time (s) According to the second law of motion, where: ∆v = change of velocity (final velocity-initial velocity) ∆v = Vf - Vi F = ma (Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration) F = m ∆v/t F = m ( vf – vi)/t a = ∆v/t
By rearrangement: Ft = mVf – mVi Since: p=mv Ft = pf – pi Ft = Δ p I = Δp Impulse could also be equal to the change in momentum Example 1: A force of 50N is applied to a boulder for 3s. What is the impulse? Given: F= 50 N t= 3 seconds Required: Impulse Required: I ; where I = Ft I = (50N) (3s) = 150 Ns
