Linear and Angular momentum

Linear Momentum
Concept: how difficult it is to stop a moving object.
Linear momentum

Linear momentum is a vector quantity. Changing momentum requires unbalanced force. If we have a system of particles, then the total momentum is defined as the vector sum of the individual particles momenta:

 A 200g ball is moving with constant speed of 2m/s. How much is the linear momentum of this ball? (A)400 kgm/s (B) 4kgm/s (C) 0.4 kgm/s (D)100 kgm/s

 A 200g ball is moving with constant speed of 2m/s. How much is the linear momentum of this ball? (A)400 kgm/s (B) 4kgm/s (C) 0.4 kgm/s (D)100 kgm/s
Note that you need to convert mass into kilograms. The correct answer is C.

 In the previous problem, assume that the ball hits a wall and reflects back with the same velocity. How much is the change in the momentum of the ball in this collision? (A)Zero (B) 0.4kgm/s (C) 0.8kgm/s (D)0.2kgm/s

 In the previous problem, assume that the ball hits a wall and reflects back with the same velocity. How much is the change in the momentum of the ball in this collision? (A)Zero (B) 0.4kgm/s Note that the momentum is a vector. So even though the magnitude of the momentum stays the same, its (C) 0.8kgm/s Direction changes, so p=0.4-(-0.4)=0.8kgm/s (D)0.2kgm/s The correct answer is C.

 In the previous problem, which statement is valid during the collision of the ball and the wall? (A)Wall exerts a bigger force on the ball (B) Ball exerts a bigger force on the wall (C) Ball and wall exert the same force on one another (D) Ball and wall dont exert any force on one another during collision

 In the previous problem, which statement is valid during the collision of the ball and the wall? (A)Wall exerts a bigger force on the ball (B) Ball exerts a bigger force on the wall (C) Ball and wall exert the same force on one another (D) Ball and wall dont exert any force on one another during collision
Remember Third law? The correct answer is C.

Conservation of linear momentum

If there is no unbalanced external force acting on a system of particles, then the total momentum of that system remains unchanged.

Examples: billiard balls. Jumping off a stationary boat.

Conservation of linear momentum

When the man jumps out of the boat the boat moves backward.

System=man + boat Initial momentum = 0

Final momentum also needs to be zero, so the boat finds a negative momentum to cancel the momentum of the person.

Cannon Ball!
F Dt = m Dv

For the same Force (amount of powder), why is the speed of a cannon ball greater when fired from a longer cannon barrel?

Interaction Time
F Dt = m Dv

The longer cannon barrel gives the cannon ball a larger impulse and therefore more momentum. The Force (F) is allowed to act for a longer time Dt to build up velocity (Dv).
F Dt = m Dv

Impulse and Momentum

acceleration = acceleration a = a F = Dv m Dt F Dt = m Dv Impulse Momentum

Impulse and Momentum

F = Dv m Dt F Dt = m Dv Impulse Momentum

If a change in velocity (momentum) occurs over a short time, a large force results. If the change in velocity (momentum) occurs over an extended time, a small force results.

Angular momentum and torque

Angular momentum is a measure of how difficult it is to stop a rotating object. It first defined for rotating bodies, but even object moving on a straight line can have angular momentum with respect to specific observers. Angular momentum=mass*velocity*distance from axis of rotation.

How can we change angular momentum? It can be changed by applying torque.

Torque
Torque is the quantity which changes the angular momentum. Torque is a twisting action that produces rotational motion or a change in rotational motion.

torque

If force is parallel to r, it doesnt have any torque.

Conservation of angular momentum

If there is no unbalanced external torque, then the angular momentum of the system remains unchanged. In some situations, the net force acting on the object is not zero, but force is parallel to radius. So, the torque created by that force is zero. As a result angular momentum is conserved.

Conservation of Angular Momentum

Figure Skater she/he starts the spin with arms out at one angular velocity. Simply by pulling the arms in the skater spins faster, since the average radial distance of the mass decreases. m1v1r1 = m2v2r2 m is constant; r decreases; Therefore v increases

 What will happen for a figure skater, when she pulls in her arms during a spin? (A)She will spin faster (B) She will spin more slowly (C) Nothing is going to happen (D)She will fall
Angular momentum stays conserved. Since the average r gets smaller, angular speed has To go up to keep the angular momentum conserved. As a result she will spin faster. A is correct.
