    CHANGING MOMENTUM 1.When a stationary baseball is hit by a bat, an impact force significantly changes the balls momentum. 2.When an ocean-going oil-tanker coasts to a stop before arriving at port,a force significantly changes the ships momentum. 3.Since we use p to represent momentum, how could we denote the change in momentum of an object?

    p
    4.We also have a term for change in momentum. It is

    impulse ________________________.
    5.Equations:

    p=

    (mv) = m v

    MOMENTUMOUS OCCASIONS 1.Which activity would require more impulse? ___ accelerating a soccer ball from rest to 10 m/s ___ accelerating a medicine ball from rest to 10 m/s ___ same for both Explain.

    Medicine ball has more mass.

    m
    m

    2.Which activity would require more impulse? ___ slowing a car from 60 mph to 40 mph ___ slowing the same car from 40 mph to 10 mph ___ same for both Explain.

    Bigger change in velocity for second car.

    3.Which activity would require more impulse? ___ landing from a jump while flexing the legs (bending at the knees) ___ landing from a jump while keeping the legs straight (locking knees) ___ same for both Explain.

    Same mass; same change in velocity m v

    NEWTON REVISITED 1.Write Newtons second law of motion as he originally wrote it.

    F=

    p/

    2.Rewrite that expression, solving for impulse.

    p=F

    3.Which method of landing from a jump involves the greater impulse (the greater change in momentum)? ___ flexing the legs ___ locking the legs ___ same for both 4.In light of this,why is it better to flex the legs when landing from a jump?

    Flexing legs extends the impact time. Extending the impact time reduces the impact force. F FLEX

    t LOCK

    5.Discuss the two impulses described in the Changing Momentum section above.

    T-ball: short time (abrupt force) Tanker: long time


    FLYING LEAPS 1.Felix and Digby are into extreme adventures.They want to jump off a high bridge.And live to do it again sometime.They agree they should tie one end of a cord of some sort around their waist and attach the other end to the bridge.Felix says they should use a stretchy,rubber (bungee) cord.Digby says they should use a strong metal cable.Whos right and why?

    Metal cable: short impact time; big impact force. Bungee cord: long impact time; small impact force.
    2.What is the physics reason for padding dashboards?

    Padding increases impact time; reduces impact force.

    3.When do pole vaulters and film stunt artists employ this kind of physics?

    When they fall into cushioned landing bags.
