Who has the Momentum?

Momentum summary. Use this as a supplement to your textbooks.

Momentum

The sports announcer says, "Going into the all-star break, the Chicago White Sox have the momentum." The headlines declare "Chicago Bulls Gaining Momentum." The coach pumps up his team at half-time, saying "You have the momentum; the critical need is that you use that momentum and bury them in this third quarter."

Momentum is a commonly used term in sports. A team that has the momentum is on the move and is going to take some effort to stop. A team that has a lot of momentum is really on the move and is going to be hard to stop. Momentum is a physics term; it refers to the quantity of motion that an object has. A sports team that is on the move has the momentum. If an object is in motion (on the move) then it has momentum.

Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

Momentum = mass • velocity

In physics, the symbol for the quantity momentum is the lower case "p". Thus, the above equation can be rewritten as

p = m • v

where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

The units for momentum would be mass units times velocity units. The standard metric unit of momentum is the kg•m/s. While the kg•m/s is the standard metric unit of momentum, there are a variety of other units that are acceptable (though not conventional) units of momentum. Examples include kg•mi/hr, kg•km/hr, and g•cm/s. In each of these examples, a mass unit is multiplied by a velocity unit to provide a momentum unit. This is consistent with the equation for momentum.

Momentum is a vector quantity. As discussed in an earlier unit, a vector quantity is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction. To fully describe the momentum of a 5-kg bowling ball moving westward at 2 m/s, you must include information about both the magnitude and the direction of the bowling ball. It is not enough to say that the ball has 10 kg•m/s of momentum; the momentum of the ball is not fully described until information about its direction is given. The direction of the momentum vector is the same as the direction of the velocity of the ball. In a previous unit, it was said that the direction of the velocity vector is the same as the direction that an object is moving. If the bowling ball is moving westward, then its momentum can be fully described by saying that it is 10 kg•m/s, westward. As a vector quantity, the momentum of an object is fully described by both magnitude and direction.

From the definition of momentum, it becomes obvious that an object has a large momentum if either its mass or its velocity is large. Both variables are of equal importance in determining the momentum of an object. Consider a Mack truck and a roller skate moving down the street at the same speed. The considerably greater mass of the Mack truck gives it a considerably greater momentum. Yet if the Mack truck were at rest, then the momentum of the least massive roller skate would be the greatest. The momentum of any object that is at rest is 0. Objects at rest do not have momentum - they do not have any "mass in motion." Both variables - mass and velocity - are important in comparing the momentum of two objects.

The momentum equation can help us to think about how a change in one of the two variables might affect the momentum of an object. Consider a 0.5-kg physics cart loaded with one 0.5-kg brick and moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s. The total mass of loaded cart is 1.0 kg and its momentum is 2.0 kg•m/s. If the cart was instead loaded with three 0.5-kg bricks, then the total mass of the loaded cart would be 2.0 kg and its momentum would be 4.0 kg•m/s. A doubling of the mass results in a doubling of the momentum.

Similarly, if the 2.0-kg cart had a velocity of 8.0 m/s (instead of 2.0 m/s), then the cart would have a momentum of 16.0 kg•m/s (instead of 4.0 kg•m/s). A quadrupling in velocity results in a quadrupling of the momentum. These two examples illustrate how the equation p = m•v serves as a "guide to thinking" and not merely a "plug-and-chug recipe for algebraic problem-solving."

Steps for Solving Momentum Problems

As in the procedure for solving other force problems, calculating momentum is a step by step process. We will use a problem to work through the steps.


Problem: Calculate the momentum of a 11.35kg wagon rolling down a hill at 12m/s.
Step 1 : Write down the equation needed for solving momentum.
p = mv

Step 2: Insert all known measurements into the formula.

p = (11.35kg) (12m/s)


Step 3: Solve. Carefully enter all numerical values into your calculator.

p = 136.2 kg x m/s down the hill

  • Check your work and make sure that all numbers have a SI unit label and that you have the correct SI unit for momentum.
  • Don't forget the direction in your answer label! The velocity is down the hill, so the momentum will be the same.
  • It is a good idea to always double check your answers because it is very easy to hit the wrong button on your calculator!

Go get some momentum formula experience! Do the practice problems.

    Reviewing Key Concepts

    1. a. If one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.

    b. Action and reaction forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction.

    c. When you caught the ball, you (with the ball in your hand) would move in the direction of the ball’s initial motion.

    2. a. Momentum is a characteristic of a moving object equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.

    b. Because the velocity of a parked car is zero, its momentum is zero.

    c. Cars traveling at faster speeds have more momentum and are more difficult to stop than cars traveling at slower speeds.

    3. a. Disregarding friction, the quantity of momentum is the same before and after objects interact.

    b. The total momentum stays the same: 0.06 kg m/s

  19. 1. Question- Calculate the momentum of a 0.15 kg ball that is moving toward home plate at a velocity of 40m/s.
    Answer- P=MV
    Ball: 0.15kg x 40m/s
    Therefore the momentum of the ball towards home plate is 6kg x m/s.


    2. Question- Which has greater momentum, a 2.0kg hockey puck moving east at 2.5m/s or a 1.3kg hockey puck moving south at 3.0m/s?
    Answer- P=MV
    First hockey puck: 2kg x 2.5m/s
    Therefore the momentum is 5kg x m/s east.
    Second hockey puck: 1.3kg x 3m/s
    Therefore the momentum is 3.9kg x m/s south.
    Obviously the one with the more momentum is the first hockey puck.

    3. Question- A track athlete throws a 2kg discus into a field with a velocity of 21m/s. What is the momentum of the discus?
    Answer- P=MV
    discus: 2kg x 21m/s
    Therefore the momentum would equal 42kg x m/s down field.

    4. Question- Calculate the momentum of a 700g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6m/s.
    Answer- P=MV
    Ball: 700g x 4.6m/s
    Therefore the momentum of the ball rolling down the ramp is 3220g x m/s.

    5. Question- A cannon fires a 40.5kg shell toward a target and the shell moves with a velocity of 120m/s. Calculate the shell's momentum.
    Answer- P=MV
    Shell: 40.5kg x 120m/s
    Therefore the shells momentum is 4860kg x m/s.

  25. For the Yellow Class :

    fruit (fro͞ot)

    The ripened ovary of a flowering plant that contains the seeds, sometimes fused with other parts of the plant. Fruits can be dry or fleshy. Berries, nuts, grains, pods, and drupes are fruits. ♦ Fruits that consist of ripened ovaries alone, such as the tomato and pea pod, are called true fruits. ♦ Fruits that consist of ripened ovaries and other parts such as the receptacle or bracts, as in the apple, are called accessory fruits or false fruits. See also aggregate fruit, multiple fruit, simple fruit. See Note at berry.
    Usage To most of us, a fruit is a plant part that is eaten as a dessert or snack because it is sweet, but to a botanist a fruit is a mature ovary of a plant, and as such it may or may not taste sweet. All species of flowering plants produce fruits that contain seeds. A peach, for example, contains a pit that can grow into a new peach tree, while the seeds known as peas can grow into another pea vine. To a botanist, apples, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, pea pods, cucumbers, and winged maple seeds are all fruits. A vegetable is simply part of a plant that is grown primarily for food. Thus, the leaf of spinach, the root of a carrot, the flower of broccoli, and the stalk of celery are all vegetables. In everyday, nonscientific speech we make the distinction between sweet plant parts (fruits) and nonsweet plant parts (vegetables). This is why we speak of peppers and cucumbers and squash—all fruits in the eyes of a botanist—as vegetables.

  27. First problem: Calculate the momentum of a 0.15 kg ball that is moving toward home plate at a velocity of 40m/s.
    1.P= m x v
    2.P=(0.15kg) (40m/s)
    3.P= 6kg x m/s toward home plate
    That is the ball’s momentum moving towards home plate.

    Second problem: Which has greater momentum, a 2.0kg hockey puck moving east at 2.5m/s or a 1.3kg hockey puck moving south at 3.0m/s?
    First puck: moving east
    1.P= m x v
    2.P= (2.0kg) 2.5m/s)
    3.P= 5kg x m/s going east
    Second puck: moving south
    1.P= m x v
    2.P= (1.3kg) (3.0m/s)
    3.P= 3.9kg x m/s going south
    *The puck heading east has the greater momentum because 5kg is greater than 3.9kg.

    Third problem: A track athlete throws a 2kg discus into a field with a velocity of 21m/s. What is the momentum of the discus?
    1.P= m x v
    2.P= (2kg) (21m/s)
    3.P= 42kg x m/s is the momentum of the discuss being thrown.

    Fourth problem: Calculate the momentum of a 700g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6m/s.
    1.P= m x v
    2.P= (700kg) (4.6 m/s)
    3.P= 3220g x m/s is the momentum of the ball being rolled down a ramp.

    Fifth problem: A cannon fires a 40.5kg shell toward a target and the shell moves with a velocity of 120m/s. Calculate the shell's momentum.
    1.P= m x v
    2.P= (40.5kg) (20m/s)
    3.P= 810kg x m/s is the shells’ momentum

    3) A track athlete throws a 2kg discuss into a field with a velocity of 21 m/s. What is the momentum of the discuss?
    step 1) p= mv
    step 2) p=(2kg) * (21 m/s)
    step 3) p= 42 kg * m/s
    The momentum of the discuss moving down the field with a velocity at 21 m/s is 42 kg * m/s.
    4)Calculate the momentum of a 700 g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6 m/s.
    step 1) p= mv
    step 2) p= (700 kg) * (4.6 m/s)
    step 3) p= 3220 kg * m/s
    The ball is rolling 3220 kg * m/s down the ramp.
    5) A Cannon fires a 40.5 kg shell toward a target and a shell moves with a velocity of 120 m/s. Calculate the shells momentum...
    step 1) p= mv
    step 2) p= (40.5 kg) * (120 m/s)
    step 3) 4860 kg * m/s
    The shells momentum at which it is traveling is 4860 kg * m/s.

  39. Mr. v,
    I was wondering why I didnt get any bonus points for the momentum questions i answered yesterday? If you would like me to print out a hard copy or written copy even, for tomorrow, i would be glad to do so.
    Thanks!

  40. Bonus Momentum Problems

    1.)Calculate the momentum of a 0.15 kg ball that is moving toward home plate at a velocity of 40m/s.

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (0.15 kg)* (40 m/s)
    3: p = 0.15 kg * 40 m/s
    4: 6 kg x m/s

    2.)Which has greater momentum, a 2.0kg hockey puck moving east at 2.5m/s or a 1.3kg hockey puck moving south at 3.0m/s?
    Hockey Puck moving east

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (2.0 kg)* (2.5m/s)
    3: p = 2.0 kg * 2.5 m/s
    4: 5 kg x m/s
    Hockey Puck moving south

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (1.3 kg)* (3.0 m/s)
    3: p = 1.3 kg * 3.0 m/s
    4: 3.9 kg x m/s

    The westward hockey puck has the greater momentum.

    3.)A track athlete throws a 2kg discus into a field with a velocity of 21m/s. What is the momentum of the discus?

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (2 kg)* (21 m/s)
    3: p = 2 kg * 21 m/s
    4: 42 kg x m/s

    4.)Calculate the momentum of a 700g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6m/s.

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (700 kg)* (4.6 m/s)
    3: p = 700 kg * 4.6 m/s
    4: 3220 kg x m/s

    5.)Cannon fires a 40.5kg shell toward a target and the shell moves with a velocity of 120m/s. Calculate the shell's momentum.

    1: p = mv
    2: p = (40.5 kg)* (120 m/s)
    3: p = 40.5 kg * 120 m/s
    4: 4860 kg x m/s

  47. 1. Calculate the momentum of a 0.15kg ball that is moving toward home plate at a velocity of 40m/s.

    Momentum (p)= MxV
    Momentum= 0.15x40m/s
    6kg x m/s= 0.15x40m/s
    The momentum is 6kg x m/s.

    2. Which has a greater momentum, a 2.0 kg hockey puck moving east at 2.5m/s or a 1.3 kg hockey puck moving south at 30m/s?

    Hockey Puck Moving East:
    P= MxV
    P= 2.0 x 2.5
    P= 5kg x m/s

    Hockey Puck Moving South:
    P= MxV
    P= 1.3 x 3.0
    P= 3.9kg x m/s
    Hockey Puck heading east has the greater momentum.

    3. A track athlete throws a 2kg discus into a field with a velocity of 21m/s. What is the momentum of the discus?

    P= MxV
    P= 2 x 21
    P= 42kg x m/s
    The momentum of the discus is 42 kg x m/s

    4. Calculate the momentum of a 700g ball that is rolling down a ramp at 4.6m/s.

    P= MxV
    P= 700 x 4.6
    P= 3220kg x m/s
    The momentum of the ball is 3220kg x m/s.

    5. A cannon fires a 40.5kg shell toward a target and the shell moves with a velocity of 120m/s. Calculate the shell's momentum.

    P= MxV
    P= 40.5 x 120
    P= 4860kg x m/s
    The momentum of the shell is 4860kg x m/s

  50. Hey Mr. Voskiul,
    I have a question. Last thursday I was suppose to present my element and I dressed up to do my presentation so I could get extra points. But it ended up that I could not present that day since you were not there. So today I dressed up again, thinking you might be there so I could present but again i couldnt. My main question here is do I need to dress up again for when I present? Cause I already have twice now. and when will I be presenting? And oh by the way I heard you are sick?, If you are I hope you feel better!
