QW1. What is the unit for momentum?2. How do you tell if something is harder to

stop?3. If velocity is increased, and momentum

remains the same, what happens to mass?4. What is the difference between inertia and

momentum?5. What does magnitude mean?6. What is the difference between vector and

scalar?

Impulse

Impulse Unikitty and Batman are coming toward

you, who is harder to stop?

m= 90 kgv= 1 m/s

m= 3 kgv= 1 m/s

Impulse

But, how do you stop Batman?

Impulse

In order to stop Batman (or anything else) you must apply a force.

When you stop something, you are changing it’s momentum.

Impulse

A change in momentum created by a force exerted over time is called impulse.

Basically, impulse is a change in momentum.

Impulse If the momentum of an object changes, either the mass, the velocity, or both change

Impulse Which do you think is more likely to change: the mass of an object, or the velocity of an object?

Impulse If the mass remains unchanged, which is most often the case, then the velocity changes and WHAT occurs?

Impulse

Acceleration

Remember: acceleration is a change in velocity

Impulse

What produces acceleration?

Impulse

Force

Impulse The greater the force acting

on an object, the greater its change in velocity, and therefore, the greater its change in momentum

ImpulseHow long the force acts is

also important.

If you apply a brief force to a stalled car you changed the car’s momentum.

Impulse

If you applied the same force over an extended period of time you will produce a greater change in the car’s momentum.

Impulse A force sustained for a longer

time produces more change in momentum than does the same force applied briefly.

Impulse BOTH Force and Time are important in changing momentum.

Impulse - examples Boxers attempt to move with an

opponent’s punch when it is thrown. In other words, a boxer moves in the same direction as their opponent's punch. This movement may prevent a knockout blow being delivered by their opponent. Explain how.

Impulse - examples

If the force applied by the opponent's punch can be extended over a longer time, the force of the blow is reduced, minimizing the chances of a knockout punch being delivered to the boxer.

Impulse - examples

An egg dropped on a tile floor breaks, but an egg dropped on a pillow from the same height does not.

Why?

Impulse - examples In both cases, the mass and velocity are

the same. In this type of example, if the amount of time the object is in contact with the force goes up, then the amount force goes down.

When dropped on a pillow, the egg starts to slow down as soon as it touches the pillow. The pillow increases the amount of time it takes the egg to stop.

Can you throw an egg, and not break it?

Impulse In physics, the quantity Force • time is known as impulse.

ImpulseImpulse = change in momentum

This is how it looks on your STAAR chart:

Units?

Both sides are Impulse:

Impulse = Ft Impulse = m(vf-vi)

So you will be expected to solve using either side, but sometimes you will have to use the entire formula.

J = Ft J = m(vf-vi)

Impulse – practice problem

A net force of 25 newtons is applied to a 20 kilogram cart for 2 seconds?

What is the impulse?

What is the change in momentum?

Impulse – practice problem

A net force of 25 newtons is applied to a 20 kilogram cart for 2 seconds?

What is the impulse? F= 25 N Impulse=Ft m= 20 kg

(25)(2)=50 N*s t= 2 s What is the change in momentum?

50 kg*m/s

Impulse – guided practice

A net force of 30 newtons is applied to a 10 kilogram cart that is already moving at 1 meter per second. The final speed of the cart was 2 meters per second. For how long was the force applied?

Impulse – guided practice

A net force of 30 newtons is applied to a 10 kilogram cart that is already moving at 1 meter per second. The final speed of the cart was 2 meters per second. For how long was the force applied?

F= 30 Nm= 10 kgvi= 1 m/svf= 2 m/s

Ft = m(vf-vi)(30)(t)=(10)(2-1) 30t=10 t=.3 s

Impulse – practice problem

A 0.045 kg ball is thrown (from rest) with a force of 450 N. If the force acts on the ball for 12 s, what is the final speed of the ball?

Impulse – practice problem

A 0.045 kg ball is thrown (from rest) with a force of 450 N. If the force acts on the ball for 12 s, what is the final speed of the ball?

F= 450 Nm= .045 kgvi= 0 m/st= 12 s

Ft = m(vf-vi) (450)(12)=(.045)(vf-0) 5400=(.045) vf

120,000 m/s =vf

A .5 kg frisbee is thrown from rest to a final speed of 12 m/s. What is the impulse of the frisbee?

m= .5 kgvi= 0 m/svf= 12 m/s

J = m(vf-vi) J =(.5)(12-0) J = 6 kg*m/s
