To answer all of these questions--you need
to understand: Impulse and Momentum
Recall, Newton’s first law…The Law of Inertia
The study of inertia for moving objects is the
study of “momentum”

Answer: (b)
Which has a greater momentum, a heavy truck
at rest or a moving skateboard?
Answer: (b) The truck at rest has no
speed, hence no momentum. So the

The Impulse-Momentum Theorem

When a net force acts upon a body for a
period of time, the Impulse applied by the
force is equal to the body’s change in
Momentum!

If your change in momentum is constant,
how can you MINIMIZE the force applied to

Is it more dangerous when a flower pot falls
on your head and breaks or stays in one
piece and bounces back up?
When an object bounces, what happens to
it’s velocity? How does that effect it’s change
of momentum?
Since ∆p is greater in bouncing situations, the
Impulse applied will be greater!
The Law of Conservation of Momentum


Internal forces are forces that act within a
system, external forces are forces that act on
a system from outside…
If a system is not affected by any net external
force, it is said to be “ISOLATED”.
 In
31

an isolated system, the total
linear momentum is always
conserved!

Example #7
Jocko, who has a mass of

ice, catches a 20kg ball
that is thrown to him at
10km/h. How fast do
Jocko and the ball move

(a) 0 km/hr (b) 2.5 km/hr (c) 200 km/hr
(d) no way to determine
Answer: (b)
35
of
42
(b): The momentum before the
catch is all in the ball, 20kg x
10km/h = 200kg·km/h. This is
also the momentum after the
catch, where the moving mass
is 80kg—60kg for Jocko and
20kg for the caught ball.
80kg x v = 200kg·km/h v =
200kg·km/h/80kg = 2.5km/h

Which would be more
damaging:
37
of
42
(a)Driving into a massive concrete wall
(b)Driving at the same speed into a head-on
collision with an identical car traveling
toward you at the same speed
(c) Neither - the same amount of damage
(d)Not enough information given
Answer: (c)
38
of
42
(c): Both cases are
equivalent, because either
way, your car rapidly
decelerates to a dead stop.
The dead stop is easy to
see when hitting the wall,
and identical cars at equal
speeds means equal
momenta—zero before,
zero after collision.
Example #9
Strictly speaking, when a gun is fired,
compared with the momentum of the recoiling
gun, the opposite momentum of the bullet is
39
of
42
(a) less
(b) more
(c) the same
(d) no way to determine
(Neglect the effect of the hand.)
Answer: (a)
(a) Why? Because more than just a bullet comes out of
the barrel when a gun is fired. The gas, formed when
the powder in the cartridge burns, pushes the bullet
along the barrel and this gas too has appreciable mass
and exits at high speed. So, Momentum of recoiling
gun = momentum of bullet + momentum of gases.
