Collisions in 2 Dimensions The conservation of momentum equation is a vector equation. It will apply for any number of dimensions that are relevant in a question. p i = p f m 1 v 1i + m 2 v 2i = m 1 v 1f + m 2 v 2f

It will apply for any number of dimensions that are relevant in a question. p i = p f m 1 v 1i + m 2 v 2i = m 1 v 1f + m 2 v 2f In particular, we can write equations for each component of the momentum.

Example 9.14 - Exploding Rocket A rocket is fired vertically upward. At the instant it reaches an altitude of 1000 m and a speed of v i = 300 m/s, it explodes into three fragments having equal mass. One fragment moves upward with a speed of v 1 = 450 m/s following the explosion. The second fragment has a speed of v 2 = 240 m/s and is moving east right after the explosion. What is the velocity of the third fragment immediately after the explosion? (What is the change in kinetic energy of the system of the rocket parts?)
Example 9.14 - Exploding Rocket p i = p f M v i = M 3 (v 1 + v 2 + v 3 ) Let j point in the the upward vertical direction, and i point east. v 3 = 3v i v 1 v 2 = 3 300 j 450 j 240 i = ( 240 i + 450 j) m/s Or, 510 m/s at an angle of 62 above the horizontal to the west.

We modeled many systems that were not point-like as if they were. We pretended they were points located at their center of mass. For translational motion, it is as if all of the system s mass is concentrated at that one point and all external forces are applied at that point.

That model worked up until now, but we could not model vibrations, rotations, or deformations. The translational motion is independent of all these other motions.
Center of Mass For a solid, rigid object: center of mass the point on an object where we can model all the mass as being, in order to find the object s trajectory; a freely moving object rotates about this point The center of mass of the wrench follows a straight line as the wrench rotates about that point.

Center of Mass For that system of two particles: x CM = m 1x 1 + m 2 x 2 m 1 + m 2 For more particles in 1 dimension: x CM = i m ix i or i m i x CM = 1 m i x i M where M is the total mass of all the particles in the system. i
Center of Mass This expression also gives us the x coordinate of the center of mass when we have more dimensions. x CM = 1 m i x i M i Likewise for y: y CM = 1 m i y i M i and z: z CM = 1 m i z i M where M is the total mass of all the particles in the system. i
Center of Mass Therefore, we can condense all three expressions into a single vector expression. r CM = 1 m i r i M i where r i = x i i + y i j + z i k is the displacement of particle i from the origin.
