Lecture 13: Collisions and Impulse
Physics 2210Fall Semester 2014
Announcement
● Exam #2 Wednesday October 29th, 3 PM● Coverage: Through Unit 13 (today)● Review on Monday October 27th
● Practice Exam is posted to web page
● Regrade forms from last exam due Friday 24th!
Today's Concepts:a) More on elastic collisionsb) Average and integrated force during collisions
Mechanics Lecture 13, Slide 3
Unit 13: Prelecture Feedback
Mechanics Lecture 13, Slide 4
● This section of smartphysics is conceptual... in class we should calculate some things.
● The 3rd checkpoint problem● Elastic collisions and relative speed● Homework- and exam-type examples
In CM frame, the speed of an object before an elastic collision is the same as the speed of the object after.
General result: rate of approach before an elastic collision is the same as the rate of separation afterward, in any
reference frame!

A block slides to the right with speed V on a frictionless floor and collides with a bigger block which is initially at rest. After the
collision the speed of both blocks is V/3 in opposite directions. Is the collision elastic?
A) Yes B) No C) Need more information

Is the collision elastic?A) Yes B) No C) Need more information
A) Yes, the blocks do not stick together.
B) No because the relative speed before the collision is V and after it's 2V/3 and since those two do not
equal each other the collision is not elastic.
C) The masses of the blocks needs to be known.

Flashcard Question
The change in momentum of block B is:
A) Twice the change in momentum of block AB) The same as the change in momentum of block AC) Half the change in momentum of block A
F BF A
Two identical blocks, B having twice the mass of A, are initially at rest on frictionless air tracks. You now apply the same constant force to both blocks for exactly one
second.

Example: A ball of mass 0.100 kg is dropped from a height of 10.0 meters onto a trampoline. It rebounds to a height of 7.0 meters, after being in contact with the trampoline for 0.020 seconds. What is the average force exerted by the trampoline on the ball?

The ball is now thrownwith an initial horizontal velocity = 1.50 m/s to the right. Does this
change the impulse that the trampoline imparts to the ball?
CheckPoint
A) Four times as long.
B) Twice as long.
C) The same length.
D) Half as long.
E) A quarter as long.
A constant force acts for a time ∆t on a block that is initially at rest on a frictionless surface, resulting in a final velocity V. Suppose the experiment is repeated on a block with twice the mass using a force that’s
half as big. For how long would the force have to act to result in the same final velocity?
