Types of Momentum Collisions
Inertia
100

Momentum can be defined as

moving inertia and a vector

100

Impulse can be defined as...

the change in momentum and force applied to an object for a period of time

100

What is needed to change the momentum of an object?

You need a large force

100

Which collision is considered bouncy and another considered sticky?

bouncy - elastic

sticky - inelastic

100
Inertia can be defined as...

an object's resistance to a change in motion

200
what is the relationship between mass and momentum?

direct relationship

200
Calculate the change in momentum for a 600 kg automobile changing from 10 m/s to 40 m/s.
J = m delta v

= 600 kg (30 m/s) = 18,000 Ns

200

What would the total momentum be before and after an explosion?

Total momentum is always 0 regarding explosions

200

total momentum is always 0 in which collision?

explosion collisions

200

What does inertia depend on the most?

depends on mass

300

what is the relationship between velocity and momentum?

direct relationship

300

J= delta p = m delta v = ?

F net t

300

Why should we always bend our knees when we land?

By increasing the time of impact, you will decrease the force a person feels

300

Which type of collision has momentum transferred from one object to the other?

Elastic collisions

300

There is a 250 kg man and a 50 kg girl. Who has more inertia and why?

The man has more inertia because he has more mass

400

What is the momentum of a 3.0 g bullet moving at 250 m/s?

p = mv = .003 kg x 250 m/s = .75 kgm/s
400

A hockey player exerts a force of 30 N on a hockey puck for .16 s. What impulse is given to the puck?

J= Fnet t

= 30 N (.16 s) = 4.8 Ns

400

If a metal bullet penetrates a block while a rubber bullet bounces off, why does the 2nd block tip over and not the first?

Metal bullet does not change direction while a rubber bullet does, so it has a larger change in v, creating a larger force to knock over the block

400

Which collision do you add masses to determine the velocity after?

Inelastic collisions

400

There is a man walking at 6 m/s and another man walking at 3 m/s. Who has more inertia?

They have the same inertia, but it would be harder to stop the man who is walking at 6 m/s.

500

What are the 3 requirements for an object to have momentum?

mass, velocity, and the object must be moving

500

A force of 100 N acts fir .40 s on a 2 kg ball. What is the impulse given to the ball and the change in momentum?

J = Fnet t = 100 N (.45 s ) = 40 Ns 

Impulse= change in momentum

500

If there are 2 trucks, one crashes into a wall and the other drives through hay, and they both start and end at the same speed, how do their change in p compare?

1st truck stopped in less time creating a larger force while the 2nd truck stopped in more time creating a smaller force. The truck crashing into the wall has a larger and greater impulse

500

Jenny has a mass of 55 kg and jogging at a pace of 5 m/s. She jogs straight into Al who has a mass of 25 kg. If they both come to a complete stop when they collide, how fast was Al originally running?

m1v1=m2v2

55 kg (5 m/s) = 45 kg v2

v2= 6.1 m/s east

500
