Introduction Momentum is defined as: p = mv For a constant force, impulse is defined as: J = F Δt Both momentum and impulse are vector quantities. Notice that momentum is defined as the product of a scalar (the mass) and a vector (the velocity). Since the mass is always positive, the momentum always has the same direction as the velocity. Similarly, for a constant force, the direction of the impulse on an object is always the same as the direction of the force acting on that object since the time interval (t) is always positive. The relationship between momentum and impulse (called the impulse-momentum theorem) is: Jnet = pf – pi → pi + Jnet = pf The impulse momentum theorem is applied to a system (i.e., a collection of interacting objects). In words, the impulse-momentum theorem states that any net impulse delivered to a system goes directly into changing the linear momentum of that system. The total momentum of a system is determined by adding the momenta of each of the objects in the system (vector addition!). The net impulse is determined by inserting the net force acting on the system into the definition of impulse. The net force on a system is the sum of all external forces (i.e., the force exerted by objects outside of the system) since internal forces (i.e., forces exerted by objects inside of the system due to interactions between objects) come in equal and opposite action-reaction pairs and hence cancel. Collision problems are often shown as prior and post collisions. Momentum is conserved, meaning that p = pf – pi = 0, this is related to total initial moment pi (before to the collision), and final momentum pf (after to the collision). 1 Experiment 1 (Elastic Collison) A red puck (0.5kg) is initially sliding to the right at 1m/s on a frictionless surface and green puck (1.5kg) is at rest. After the collision, the green puck is moving to the right at 0.5m/s. The system consists of both pucks. Predict the momentum and velocity of the red puck after the collision. The questions below are intended to help you correctly predict your first impulse momentum bar chart. Ask yourself similar questions in all subsequent experiments. Remember that since p = mv, the direction of the momentum is always the same as the direction of the velocity. 1. Initially the red puck is moving to the right. What is the direction of red puck’s initial momentum vector? ____________ (left, right, or zero momentum). • This momentum is____________. (positive, negative, or zero). 2. Initially the green puck is not moving. What is the direction of green puck’s initial momentum vector? ____________ (left, right, or zero momentum). • This momentum is____________. (positive, negative, or zero). 3. After the collision, the green puck is moving to the right. What is the direction of green puck’s final momentum vector? ____________ (left, right, or zero momentum). • This momentum is____________. (positive, negative, or zero). Draw a Freebody Diagram of the two pucks at the instant when the red puck is impacting the right side of the green puck. Red Puck Green Puck to test your 4. The total net force in the horizontal direction during the impact is____________. (positive, negative, or zero). 5. What is the direction of the impulse vector on the red puck + the green puck (which is the same as the direction of the horizontal component of the net force)? ____________ (left, right, or zero momentum). 2 Use your answers from above to draw a predicted momentum bar chart to the right. Be sure the bars balance so that momentum is conserved. Note that your bars don’t have to be exact and are subjective so you should try to use whole blocks rather than partial blocks of momentum. Using your bar chart, predict the direction of the momentum of the red puck after the collision: 6. My bar chart predicted that the red puck’s momentum after the collision is____________. (positive, negative, or zero). • Therefore, after the collision, the direction of green puck’s final momentum vector is ____________ (left, right, or zero momentum). Let’s test your prediction by using the same simulation that we used in the 4.0 Momentum and Impulse Virtual Lab. Start up the simulation by clicking on the link below: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/collision-lab Starting the simulation: • Click on the play button on the simulation • If warned about Flash 8 or better, hit the Attempt to view the simulation anyways • If a warning states that adobe flash is blocked, click block button to add an exception. Then reload the simulation, and it should start.

Once you set up your predictions to test, you can restart, play, pause, and step by a timeframe using the buttons below the simulation. Further below the simulation, click the more data button o This area should turn into a table as shown below: 3 o This table can be used to alter a puck’s mass, position, and velocity. It also displays each puck’s current velocity and momentum. Use the current table setup to go through the next part of the lab. Adjust the simulation table for mass and velocity for each puck, then run the simulation to test your prediction. After you have run the simulation, use the data and numbers under the momentum area of the table to adjust your chart in the corrected momentum bar chart to the right. Use the area below to create equations from your corrected momentum bar chart above. Try and verify the simulation’s final velocity of the red puck after the collision. All equations should be in terms of mass subscripted with R (red) and G (green) and velocity subscripted with R (red) and G (green), as well as, initial (i) and final (f). For example, the initial momentum of the red puck in equation form would be piR = mR ViR: to Experiment 2 (Elastic Collison) A red puck (0.5kg) is initially sliding to the right at 3m/s on a frictionless surface and green puck (1.5kg) is sliding the left at 1m/s. After the collision, the green puck is moving to the right at 1m/s. The system consists of both pucks. Predict the momentum and velocity of the red puck after the collision. Answer the following questions: 7. Initially the red puck is moving to the right. The direction of red puck’s initial momentum is ____________ (positive, negative, or zero). 8. Initially the green puck is moving to the left. The direction of green puck’s initial momentum is ____________ (positive, negative, or zero). 9. After the collision, the green puck is moving to the right. The direction of green puck’s final momentum is ____________ (positive, negative, or zero). 4 Use your answers from above to draw a predicted momentum bar chart to the right.

All equations should be in terms of mass subscripted with R (red) and G (green) and velocity subscripted with R (red) and G (green), as well as, initial (i) and final (f). For example, the initial momentum of the red puck in equation form would be piR = mR ViR: I predict the final velocity of the red puck after the collision to be __________m/s.

Introduction
Momentum is defined as: p = mv
For a constant force, impulse is defined as: J = F Δt
Both momentum and impulse are vector quantities. Notice that momentum is defined as the
product of a scalar (the mass) and a vector (the velocity). Since the mass is always positive, the
momentum always has the same direction as the velocity. Similarly, for a constant force, the
direction of the impulse on an object is always the same as the direction of the force acting on
that object since the time interval (t) is always positive.
The relationship between momentum and impulse (called the impulse-momentum theorem) is:
Jnet = pf – pi

pi + Jnet = pf
The impulse momentum theorem is applied to a system (i.e., a collection of interacting
objects). In words, the impulse-momentum theorem states that any net impulse delivered to a
system goes directly into changing the linear momentum of that system.
The total momentum of a system is determined by adding the momenta of each of the objects
in the system (vector addition!). The net impulse is determined by inserting the net force acting
on the system into the definition of impulse. The net force on a system is the sum of all external
forces (i.e., the force exerted by objects outside of the system) since internal forces (i.e., forces
exerted by objects inside of the system due to interactions between objects) come in equal and
opposite action-reaction pairs and hence cancel.
Collision problems are often shown as prior and post collisions. Momentum is
conserved, meaning that p = pf – pi = 0, this is related to total initial moment pi (before to the
collision), and final momentum pf (after to the collision).
