Phyic 30 Leon 1 Moentu and Conervation of Moentu in One Dienion I. Phyic rincile Student often ak e if Phyic 30 i harder than Phyic 0. Thi, of coure, deend on the atitude, attitude and work ethic of the individual tudent. However, there i one ajor difference between Phyic 0 and Phyic 30. Phyic 0 wa doinated by roble olving and the calculation of an anwer. Phyic 30 ha a ubtantial roble-olving coonent, but it alo require that tudent learn and undertand the Phyic Princile that for the foundation of hyic. (Thee rincile are lited on your Phyic Data Sheet and are reroduced to the right.) In other word, you will be required to exlain how the hyic rincile are being alied to a articular roble you will deontrate that you know the theory behind the roble olving. Soe of thee rincile (0, 1,, 3 and 5) were taught in Phyic 0 and we will ee the again in different context in Phyic 30. The reaining rincile are what Phyic 30 i all about. Thi leon will introduce rincile 4, the conervation of oentu. 0 Unifor otion ( F 0) net 1 Accelerated otion ( F 0) Unifor circular otion ( i radially inward) net F 3 Work-energy theore 4 Conervation of oentu 5 Conervation of energy 6 Conervation of a-energy 7 Conervation of charge 8 Conervation of nucleon 9 Wave-article duality net Dr. Ron Licht 1 1 www.tructuredindeendentlearning.co
II. Moentu A very ueful hyical concet i oentu. The oentu ( ) of an object i defined a the roduct of it a and velocity. Recall that velocity i a vector quantity that involve both a eed and a direction. Thu, oentu i a vector quantity. v a v velocity oentu There i no choen unit for oentu like there i for force (N) or energy (J). The unit for oentu i a cobination of the a unit and velocity unit. Soe exale are kg /, kg k/h, g /, etc. (You ay refer to Pearon age 446 to 449 for a different dicuion about oentu.) Exale 1 What i the oentu of a 1500 kg car travelling wet at 5.0 /? v 1500kg(5.0 wet) 7.5 10 wet 3 kg Exale A icro-eteorite with a a of 5.0 g ha the ae oentu a the car in Exale 1. What i the velocity of the eteorite? v v 7.5 10 v 0.0050kg 3 kg v 1.5 10 wet 6 wet A ajor iconcetion that eole have i that inertia and oentu ean the ae thing. In the exale above, both object have the ae oentu (a x velocity) but the inertia (i.e. a) of the car i ubtantially larger than the inertia of the eteorite. In other word, inertia refer to the a of an object while oentu refer to the a and otion of the object. Dr. Ron Licht 1 www.tructuredindeendentlearning.co
III. Syte Before we can undertand oentu ore fully, we ut alo be aware of different kind of yte. There are everal tye of yte: Cloed yte: no a enter or leave the yte Iolated yte: no external force act on the yte and no energy leave the yte. Oen yte: a ay enter or leave the yte and external force ay influence the yte. To illutrate the difference between thee kind of yte, conider a real-life colliion between two car: Firt, the colliion of the car i not an iolated yte i.e. they are not iolated fro the Earth. Frictional force between the Earth and the car will caue the car to low down. If the car collided on a very liery urface where the frictional force with the Earth were iniied, thi would alot contitute an iolated yte. Second, if the car collide and all of the art of the car tay attached to the car we have a cloed yte. However, if art of the car fly off we have an oen yte. In our invetigation of the conervation of oentu below we will be auing cloed and iolated yte. IV. Conervation of Moentu The real iortance of the concet of oentu i that in any iolated cloed yte, the total oentu of the yte i conerved (i.e. reain contant). For exale, conider two object ( 1 and ) that collide a hown below. v 1 1 v Before colliion During colliion v 1 1 v After colliion Although the oentu of each individual object change during the colliion, the u of the oenta before the colliion (1v1 v ) and after the colliion (1v1 v ) are the ae. The general tateent for the law of conervation of oentu i: The total oentu of an iolated yte of object reain contant. Dr. Ron Licht 1 3 www.tructuredindeendentlearning.co
In other word, the u of the oenta before a colliion or exloion ( ) equal the u of the oenta after a colliion or exloion ( ). In any colliion or exloion, the total oentu i alway conerved. Thi rincile rove to be very ueful in redicting what will haen when object collide or exlode. Actually, the rincile of the Conervation of Moentu i a direct conequence of Newton Third Law of Motion that we learned about in Phyic 0. Recall that when any object exert a force on another object, the econd object will exert an equal and ooite force on the firt object. Conider the colliion between the two ae illutrated above. When they collide, a 1 exert a force on a ( F 1on ) reulting in an acceleration (change in velocity) of a. According to Newton 3 rd Law, if object 1 exert a force on object, object will exert an equal and ooite reaction force on object 1 ( F on1 ) reulting in a change in velocity of a. Therefore F F 1on on1 If we aly Newton Second Law of Motion F 1on v t F on1 v t 1 1 v 1v 1 v F a t Notice that when the change in oentu of 1 and are added together, the reult i zero. v 1v 1 0 F 1on on1 Note that the rie ybol i ued to denote after the colliion or exloion. caue a change in the oentu of, and F caue a change in oentu of object 1 the tie of contact i the ae for both object t cancel out Thi reult indicate that while the oentu of each object change, the total change in oentu of the yte (i.e. both object) i zero. Thi i alo a tateent of the rincile of conervation of oentu. Dr. Ron Licht 1 4 www.tructuredindeendentlearning.co
V. Elatic and inelatic colliion There are two baic tye of colliion elatic and inelatic and we ue the law of conervation of oentu to redict and calculate the reult. Elatic colliion are thoe where both oentu and kinetic energy are conerved. Purely elatic colliion are very hard to roduce in the ordinary world becaue there i alway oe kinetic energy converted into heat, ound, deforation or oe other for of energy. A we hall ee in future leon on the nature of the ato, colliion between ubatoic article are elatic colliion. Inelatic colliion are thoe where oentu i conerved, but kinetic energy i not conerved. A coletely inelatic colliion i when the object collide and tick together. Exale 3 A.00 kg object travelling eat at 4.00 / collide with a 3.00 kg object travelling wet at 1.50 /. If the 3.00 kg object end u travelling eat at 1.5 /, what i the final velocity of the.00 kg object? Before After v 1 = + 4.00 / 1 =.00 kg v v v v 1 1 1 1 1v1 v v v 1 1.00kg( 4.00 ) 3.00kg( 1.50 ) 3.00kg( 1.5 ) v 1.00kg v 0.13 or 0.13 wet 1 v = 1.50 / = 3.00 kg v1? 1 =.00 kg v = +1.5 / = 3.00 kg When we aly the conervation of oentu rincile we want the equation to reflect the context of the quetion. In thi quetion there are two object before the colliion and two object after the colliion. Therefore there are two v ter on the before ide and two v ter on the after ide. Rearrange the equation, lug in the known value, and calculate the unknown. Dr. Ron Licht 1 5 www.tructuredindeendentlearning.co
Exale 4 A 30 kg object travelling at 45 / wet collide with a 40 kg object at ret. If the object tick together on contact, what i the reulting velocity of the cobined ae?

Therefore there are two v ter on the before ide and one v ter on the after ide. Thi i an exale of a coletely inelatic colliion. Exale 5 A 400 kg object travelling eat at 50 / collide with a oving 50 kg object. The ae tick together after they collide and ove at 7.8 / to the eat. What wa the initial velocity of the 50 kg object?

What i the final velocity of the.00 kg object? b. Wa the colliion elatic? c. How can oentu alway be conerved while kinetic energy i not alway conerved? a. Ue the conervation of oentu to calculate the final velocity of the.00 kg object.

To deterine if the colliion wa elatic, calculate the kinetic energy before the colliion and after the colliion and coare the value.

Moentu in an iolated yte i alway conerved. Thi law i a direct reult of Newton third law of otion where the change in oentu of one object i equal and ooite the change in oentu of the other object. The cobined change in oentu i zero. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, can eaily be tranfored into heat, ound, and the deforation of object. The Conervation of Energy (i.e. the total aount of energy in an iolated yte doe not change, but energy can be tranfored into other tye) doe not deend on Newton Law.

Getting tarted Moentu in One Dienion Activity Thi activity involve the ue of an alet. Google het fro the Univerity of Colorado. Find the Colliion alet and download/run it. Ue the Introduction alet.
