Lesson 0: Collsons, Rotatonal netc Energy, Torque, Center o Graty (Sectons 7.8 Last te we used ewton s second law to deelop the pulse-oentu theore. In words, the theore states that the change n lnear oentu s caused by the pulse. In an equaton, p J F total t I no external orces act, the total lnear oentu o the syste s consered. Ths occurs n collsons and explosons. We dered the equatons or a one densonal elastc collson (knetc energy s consered) On any occasons the collson s not one densonal. What do we do then? Proble 8. An object o ass.0 kg (the projectle ) approaches a statonary object (the target ) at 8.0 /s. The projectle s delected through an angle o 90.0 and ts speed ater the collson s 6.0 /s. What s the speed o the target body ater the collson the collson s perectly elastc? Soluton: Snce the ncdent ass changes drecton ater the collson, we cannot use the equatons or an elastc one-densonal collson. Instead, we hae an elastc two-densonal collson. Intal Fnal Snce ths s a collson, there are no external orces actng and oentu s consered. Usng the dagra to take coponents: p p Lesson 0, page

A torque s not separate ro a orce; t s possble to exert a torque wthout exertng a orce. Torque s a easure o how eecte a gen orce s at twstng or turnng soethng. The torque due to a orce depends o the agntude o the appled orce, the orce s pont o applcaton, and the orce s drecton. Lesson 0, page 6
