Collisions
Generalized collisions must cover not only the physical contact but also the collisions
without physical contact such as that of electromagnetic ones in a microscopic scale.
Consider a case of a collision
between a proton on a helium ion.
F
F12
t
F21
Using Newton’s
3rd
The collisions of these ions never involve
physical contact because the electromagnetic
repulsive force between these two become great
as they get closer causing a collision.
Assuming no external forces, the force
exerted on particle 1 by particle 2, F21,
changes the momentum of particle 1 by
r r
dp1  F21dt
Likewise for particle 2 by particle 1
r r
dp2  F12dt
law we obtain
dp2
r
 F12dt
So the momentum change of the system in the
collision is 0, and the momentum is conserved

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
Momentum is conserved in any collisions as long as external forces are negligible.
Collisions are classified as elastic or inelastic based on whether the kinetic energy
is conserved, meaning whether it is the same before and after the collisions.
Elastic
Collision
A collision in which the total kinetic energy and momentum
are the same before and after the collision.
Inelastic
Collision
A collision in which the total kinetic energy is not the same
before and after the collision, but momentum is.
Two types of inelastic collisions:Perfectly inelastic and inelastic
Perfectly Inelastic: Two objects stick together after the collision,
moving together at a certain velocity.
Inelastic: Colliding objects do not stick together after the collision but
some kinetic energy is lost.
Note: Momentum is constant in all collisions but kinetic energy is only in elastic collisions.

Elastic and Perfectly Inelastic Collisions
In perfectly Inelastic collisions, the objects stick
together after the collision, moving together.
Momentum is conserved in this collision, so the
final velocity of the stuck system is

Example for Collisions
A car of mass 1800kg stopped at a traffic light is rear-ended by a 900kg car, and the
two become entangled. If the lighter car was moving at 20.0m/s before the collision
what is the velocity of the entangled cars after the collision?
The momenta before and after the collision are

The cars are moving in the same direction as the lighter
car’s original direction to conserve momentum.
The magnitude is inversely proportional to its own mass.

Two dimensional Collisions
In two dimension, one needs to use components of momentum and
apply momentum conservation to solve physical problems.

m1v1ix  m2v2ix  m1v1 fx  m2v2 fx
y-comp.
m1v1iy  m2v2iy  m1v1 fy  m2v2 fy
Consider a system of two particle collisions and scattersin
two dimension as shown in the picture. (This is the case at
fixed target accelerator experiments.) The momentum
conservation tells us:
m1v1i  m2v2i  m1v1i
m1v1ix  m1v1 fx  m2 v2 fx  m1v1 f cos q  m2 v2 f cos f
m1v1iy  0  m1v1 fy  m2 v2 fy  m1v1 f sin q  m2 v2 f sin f
And for the elastic collisions, the
kinetic energy is conserved:

Example for Two Dimensional Collisions
Proton #1 with a speed 3.50x105 m/s collides elastically with proton #2 initially at
rest. After the collision, proton #1 moves at an angle of 37o to the horizontal axis and
proton #2 deflects at an angle f to the same axis. Find the final speeds of the two
protons and the scattering angle of proton #2, f.

Center of Mass
We’ve been solving physical problems treating objects as sizeless
points with masses, but in realistic situation objects have shapes
with masses distributed throughout the body.
Center of mass of a system is the average position of the system’s mass and
represents the motion of the system as if all the mass is on the point.

The total external force exerted on the system of
total mass M causes the center of mass to move at
an acceleration given by a   F / M as if all
the mass of the system is concentrated on the
center of mass.
Consider a massless rod with two balls attached at either end.

Motion of a Diver and the Center of Mass
Diver performs a simple dive.
The motion of the center of mass
follows a parabola since it is a
projectile motion.
Diver performs a complicated dive.
The motion of the center of mass
still follows the same parabola since
it still is a projectile motion.
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
The motion of the center of mass
of the diver is always the same.

Center of Mass and Center of Gravity
The center of mass of any symmetric object lies on an
axis of symmetry and on any plane of symmetry, if
object’s mass is evenly distributed throughout the body.

1. Hang the object by one point and draw a vertical line
following a plum-bob.
2. Hang the object by another point and do the same.
3. The point where the two lines meet is the CM.

of small masses, one can see the total gravitational
