Systems of Particles
Rigid Bodies• Rigid Bodies - A collection of particles that
do not move relative to each other.

Total external force dictates the motion of the center of mass of the collection of objects.
Earth & Moon• Where is the center of mass between the
earth and the moon?
kgM e241097.5 kgmm
221035.7 mrem
81085.3 rem
Balancing an ‘E’• Where is the center of mass for the metal
plate illustrated below?
(0 cm, 0 cm)
(5 cm, 3 cm)
Momentum• Momentum - Newton called it “Quantity of
motion.”
• Ex. Find the momentum of a 40 kg ball traveling with velocity
vmp
smjtitv / ˆ 0.6ˆ 0.5 2
Momentum• Total momentum for a system of particles
• Newton’s law for multiple particles becomes

Exploding Shells• A cannon shell is fired at 100 m/s with an
angle of 60° w.r.t. horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. The one piece has no velocity immediately after the explosion. What is the velocity of the second piece and where do the pieces land?
Kinetic Energy• For multiple particles
• Velocity w.r.t. to center of mass

Exploding Shell• A 10 kg shell is traveling with a velocity of

. What is the velocity of the 2nd piece and the energy released in the explosion?

Bouncing Ball• A 0.15 kg ball strikes the floor with a
velocity of . Its velocity after striking the floor is . What is the average force the floor exerts on the ball, if the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.25s?
smji / ˆ3.4ˆ2.15 smji / ˆ2.3ˆ0.13
Conservation Laws
• Conservation of Momentum– Valid when collision takes place fast enough.– External forces can’t change momentum
significantly.
• Conservation of Energy– Elastic Collision - Kinetic energy is conserved.– Inelastic Collision - Kinetic energy is not
conserved. (Totally inelastic - Objects stick)
Identify Collisions
• Classify the following collisions– Two billiard balls collide.– Two cars collide and lock bumpers.– A bat strikes a baseball.– A ball of clay is thrown at a wall and sticks.– Two nitrogen molecules in the air collide.– A receiver leaps and catches a football.– Two hydrogen atoms in the air collide.
Flying Tackle• An 85 kg running back is traveling
downfield at 9 m/s. A 120 kg tackle hits him 30° from head on at a speed of 7 m/s. Assuming both are not in contact with the ground during the tackle and they move as one after the tackle, what is their velocity after the tackle?
Elastic Collisions• In 1-D can get 2 equations for 2 unknowns
• Ex. Rutherford studied the composition of matter by scattering alpha particles off of thin sheets of gold. If an alpha particle hits a stationary gold atom head on with a velocity of 200 m/s, what are the final velocities of both particles?
Elastic Collisions (2-D)
• 2-D can get 3 equations for 3 unknowns
• Ex. The cue ball hits a stationary pool ball with a velocity of 1.0 m/s. If the stationary ball travels away from the collision at an angle of 30°, what are the velocities of the two balls after the collision?
30°
1.0 m/s
