AP  Physics  I  Study  Guide  Chapter  7:  Momentum  &  Impulse  v Momentum  and  forces    

Ø Momentum  is  shown  by  the  symbol  p  Ø 𝑝 = 𝑚𝑣  Ø 𝑘𝑔  𝑚/𝑠  Units    Ø Momentum  is  a  vector    

§ Direction  depends  on  velocity    Ø More  p  means  more  difficult  to  stop    Ø Changing  momentum  (called  impulse)  

§ ∆𝑝 = 𝑚𝑣! −𝑚𝑣!  § To  change  momentum  force  is  required    

• 𝐹 = 𝑚𝑎  Having  acceleration  means  there  is  a  change  in  velocity    • 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑠𝑒 =   𝐹 ∆𝑡  • ∆𝑝 = 𝑚 𝑣! − 𝑣!  • 𝑚𝑣! −𝑚𝑣! = 𝐹∆𝑡  

♦ Impulse  momentum  theorem    • 𝐹 = 𝑚𝑎  • 𝐹 = 𝑚 !

!  

• 𝑡 𝐹 = 𝑚𝑣  Ø Elastic  collision    

§ Kinetic  energy  is  conserved    • Only  way  if  something  is  elastic  • !

♦ 𝑚!𝑣!!! −𝑚!𝑣!!! = 𝑚!𝑣!!! −𝑚!𝑣!!!  ♦ 𝑚! 𝑣!!! − 𝑣!!! = 𝑚! 𝑣!!! − 𝑣!!!  ♦ 𝑚! 𝑣!! − 𝑣!! 𝑣!! + 𝑣!! = 𝑚! 𝑣!! − 𝑣!! 𝑣!! + 𝑣!!  ♦ 𝑚!𝑣!! +𝑚!𝑣!! = 𝑚!𝑣!! +𝑚!𝑣!!  ♦ 𝑚! 𝑣!! − 𝑣!! = 𝑚! 𝑣!! − 𝑣!!  ♦ 𝑎𝑛𝑑  𝑖𝑓    ♦ !! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!

♦ = 𝑣!! + 𝑣!! = 𝑣!! + 𝑣!!  Ø Perfectly  inelastic    

§ Move  together  in  the  final  situation    § 𝑚!𝑣!! +𝑚!𝑣!! = 𝑣! 𝑚! +𝑚!  

v Two  dimensional  collisions    Ø ∆𝑝! = 0  Ø ∆𝑝! = 0  

v Center  of  mass

Ø If  no  external  force  and  the  system  at  𝑣!  is  0  m/s  the  center  of  mass  stays  constant
