Momentum in 2 Dimensions Unit 1B
You were introduced to momentum and momentum calculations, including 1D collisions, in Physics 2204. In this part of unit 1 we will study: 2D collisions Explosions where one mass separates into three separate parts
We will start with practical examples of collisions from Physics 2204 and further extend this to 2D collisions.
Recall: Momentum The physics definition of momentum is mass times velocity. p mv p = momentum (kgm/s) m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s)
Conservation of Momentum Total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after a collision. **Solving requires the SAME approach as in 2204: p p total before collision = total after collision The only difference is we will be dealing with 2 dimensions
Conservation of Momentum Quick review of 1D Example 1: Mass 1 (4.20 kg) is travelling 12.00 m/s [E] when it hits and sticks to Mass 2 (9.50 kg) which is stationary. What velocity do they travel together? p before p after p p p 1i 2 i (1 2) f m v m v ( m m ) v 1 1i 2 2i 1 2 f 4.20 kg(12.00 m ) 9.50 kg(0 m ) (4.20kg 9.50 kg) v s s f 50.4kg 13.7kgv m s 50.4kg m s 13.7kg v vf f f 3.68 [ E] m s
Ex. 2 Mass 1(1.5 kg) is travelling 5.0 m/s [N] and hits Mass 2 (2.0 kg) travelling 1.0m/s [S]. After the collision Mass 2 travels 1.6 m/s [N] what is v 1? (Sketch a picture) p before p after p p p p 1i 2i 1f 2f m v m v m v m v 1 1i 2 2i 1 1f 2 2f
Explosions (Sketch a picture) Ex. 3 Mass 1 (1.5 kg) and Mass 2 (2.0 kg) are parked next to each other with a spring between them. When the spring is released Mass 1 travels 3.0 m/s [L]. What is v 2?
Applying the law of conservation of momentum to 2D collisions. As in 1D: Total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after a collision. In 2 D: Information should be organized in two categories: momentum before collision and momentum after collision (horizontal and vertical) (horizontal and vertical) Solving 2D problems will require the use of components when analyzing collisions. In any collision: Σp X (before) = Σp X (after) Σp Y (before) = Σp Y (after) From there, you can identify the given quantities and the quantity you are required to find.
A graphic organizer such as the following could be used.
2D collisions will be limited to the following: OFF CENTRE An object colliding with a stationary object (in which both scatter) both angles after the collision will be given to students. You will be expected to determine: the final velocity of one particle, and the initial velocity of moving particle.
Sample Workings
Orthogonal Two moving objects colliding at 90 O (and both scatter). Angles after the collision will be given to start and then progress to where only one resultant angle is given. You will be expected to determine the following: final velocity of two particles moving together including the angle initial velocity of one of the particles.
Sample Workings
Explosions Treatment of explosions should include one mass separating into three separate parts in which: one part moves in either the horizontal (x) or vertical (y) frame, one part moves perpendicular to that frame, and the final element moves at some angle. Students will determine the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the final element.

What kind of collision were these last two examples? A) Highly Elastic B) Inelastic Collisions in which objects bounce freely from each other would be examples of highly elastic collisions. Collisions in which the bodies stick together after contact or are greatly deformed would be examples of inelastic collisions.
