 Conservation of Linear
Lesson Momentum

What I Need to Know
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to infer that the total
momentum before and after collision is equal.

Specifically, after going through this module, you will be able to:
a. Describe the total momentum before and after collision in an isolated
system.
b. Compare the total momentum before and after collision.

These are the physics terms that you will need to know as you will learn this lesson.

Situation 1
Imagine a 10-wheelers truck like collides with a small (hatchback) car which is not
moving. After they collide, the two vehicles stick together. Will their combined speed be
greater than, equal to, or less than the speed of the truck before the collision? Defend your
answer.

What Is It

Newton’s Third law of motion said that if an object exerts a force on the other, the
other object also exerts force towards it with equal magnitude. Suppose two balls with
different masses collide with each other. During collision, the two balls gain the same
momentum but in opposite direction. Since the balls have different masses, they will
accelerate differently from Newton’s second law of motion. In studying momentum of the two
or more colliding objects, we will consider a closed system or isolated system. It is
considered a closed system if no one enters or leaves in it hence; no external force is
exerted on it like air resistance, friction and the like.

In all collisions, whether it is elastic or inelastic, momentum is known to be

conserved. This is because of the law of conservation of momentum.

The law of conservation of momentum states that:

when two objects in an isolated system collides, the total momentum of the objects before
the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.

Thus, in mathematical form:

p(before)=p(after)

( p = p’) (read as: p is equal to p prime)

If you have two objects in collision, you can rewrite the equation as:

Equation 1 m1v1+m2v2=m1v1′+m2v2′ (m1 is read as m sub 1)

Where:
m1= is the mass of object 1
m2= is the mass of object 2
v1 = is the velocity of object 1 before
v2 = is the velocity of object 2 collision
v1′= is the velocity of object 1 after
v2′ = is the velocity of object 2 collision
Note: Prime symbol (′) denotes that these are the velocities after the collision.

Sample Problem 1

A car with a 1000 kg mass moving at a velocity of 5 m/s to the left collides with a car
with the same mass moving at 10 m/s to the right. What is the velocity of the second car if
the velocity of the first car after the collision is 2 m/s to the right?

Step 1: Identify what is asked in the problem.

You are asked to determine the velocity of the second car after the collision.

Step 2: Identify the given in the problem

m1=1000kg m 2=1000kg

v1=-5m/s v 2=10m/s

v1′=2m/s

Step 3: Use the equation to solve for the unknown.

p(before)=p(after)

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1′+m2v2′ ; find v2′=?

(1,000kg)(-5m/s)+(1,000kg)(10m/s)=(1,000kg)(2m/s)+(1,000kg)v 2′

-5,000kgm/s+ 10,000kgm/s = 2,000 kgm/s + (1,000 kg)v 2′

5, 000 kgm/s - 2,000 kgm/s = (1, 000 kg) v2′

3, 000 kgm/s = (1, 000 kg) v2′

1, 000 kg 1, 000 kg

Step 4: Get the answer.

v2′ = 3 m/s Therefore, the velocity of the second car is 3 m/s to the right.

Sample Problem 2
A 1.0-kg glider traveling at 5.0 m/s on a level air track undergoes a head-on
collision with a 0.25-kg mass traveling toward it at 10.0 m/s. The two gliders stick in
the collision. What is the velocity of the combined gliders after the collision?

Step 1: Identify what is asked in the problem.

You are asked to determine the velocity of the combined gliders after the collision.

4
Step 2: Identify the given in the problem

m1=0.5kgm2=0.25kgv1=2.0m/sv2=−5.0m/s

Step 3: What is asked in the problem?

v' = ? (solve for the combine velocity of the two gliders after collision)

Step 4: Use the equation to solve for the unknown.

p(before)=p(after)

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2) v′ v’ is the combined velocity of the two gliders

(1.0 kg)(5.0m/s)+(0.25kg)(−10m/s)=(1.0 kg + 0.25kg)v′

5.0 kgm/s – 2.5 kgm/s = (1.25 kg) v’

2.5 kgm/s = (1.25 kg) v’

1.25 kg 1.25 kg

Step 4: Get the answer.

v′=2m/s

Therefore: the two gliders moved together 2 m/s towards the direction of motion of
the first glider.
