Momentum P
Resumen
A bullet leaves a rifle at four hundred metres per second and a cricket ball leaves a bat at thirty. Which one is harder to stop? The honest answer is the cricket ball, and the quantity that says so is momentum. Speed on its own tells you almost nothing about how much effort an object will cost you to bring to rest. Mass on its own tells you almost nothing either. Multiply them together and you have the single number that governs every collision, every recoil and every crash on the planet.
This lesson builds that number from scratch and then uses it. You will learn to treat momentum as a directed quantity with a sign rather than a bare figure, apply the one law that lets you predict the outcome of a collision you have never seen, and finish with the equation that explains why a gymnast lands on a thick foam mat and a cricketer draws the hands back to take a catch. It is one of the few topics in the whole course where three short equations let you answer questions that look, at first sight, impossible.
Objetivos
- All moving objects have momentum. The relationship between momentum, p, mass, m, and velocity, v, is: p = m×v
- In a closed system the total momentum before an interaction is equal to the total momentum after the interaction. This is called conservation of momentum. Students may be required to complete calculations involving two objects. Examples of interactions are collisions and explosions.
- The relationship between force, F, change in momentum, ∆p, and time, t, is: F = ∆p / t ie the force equals the rate of change of momentum. Students should be able to use this relationship to explain qualitatively car safety features such as air bags, seat belts, side impact bars, crumple zones. Also, gymnasium crash mats, cushioned surfaces for playgrounds and cycle helmets.
