Newton’s second law
…..or in a more general form
Momentum
m=constant “original” form of Newton’s second law.

Re-arrange Newton’s second law
“A net Force Fnet applied for an infinitesimally small time interval dt results in a change of momentum dp.”

Net force applied over a time interval (tf-ti)
“Impulse” or “Impulse Integral” I
Newton’s second law :
“Impulse = Change of Momentum”.

Example:
A golf ball (m=46g) is struck by a club which applies a constant force of 200N for a time period of 1/100 of a second. What is the impulse on the golf ball? If the ball is at rest initially, how fast will it be after it has been hit?

Change in momentum equals impulse

Conservation of Momentum:
For a “closed system” (no external forces applied to the system) the total linear momentum of the system is conserved. (The sum of all the individual momenta of the pieces that make up the “system” remains constant.)
To approach a system with no applied external force, we can consider two gliders on an air track and just look at the linear momentum in the horizontal direction.

Demo: One glider is initially at rest; both gliders have equal mass.

Before the collision:
Total momentum:
V1i V2i = 0

After the collision:
Total momentum:
V2f = V1i V1f = 0

After the collision:
V2i = 0 V1i
Vf = ½ V1i

Mechanical energy of the system:
Half the mechanical energy “lost” in collision (converted to heat) Inelastic collision

Numerical Integration
In general, applied forces are not constant during collision:
Impulse = “Area” under the force-time curve (the integral).
![Page 15: ACCESS– Summer 2014 Elastic and Inelastic Collisions - Numerical Integration](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b43550346895dc91ebc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In lab activity: Force sensors Computer
Measurement not continuous - taken in discrete time intervals.
Estimate time integral with “numerical integration”.
![Page 16: ACCESS– Summer 2014 Elastic and Inelastic Collisions - Numerical Integration](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56815b43550346895dc91ebc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assume force remains constant over each time interval. Then calculate the sum of the rectangular areas (width ti and height Fi).
(Here, ti = t because we sample in equal time intervals.)

Alternative method: “Trapezoidal Rule”.
Partition area under the function into n intervals (widths δx). Label start of each partition as x0, x1, x2, x3, ... xn.
f(x)

More partitions smaller time intervals Connect with straight lines f(xi) and f(xi+1) Area approximated by sum of n trapezoid areas.
w=width of trapezoid (= δx)
c = length of the leg1= f(xi)
d = length of leg 2 = f(xi+1)
