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 = 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 
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.

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. |
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!

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
Bill Nye's video was a great explanation for me. Putting momentum into bowling was intresting. I saw that the ping pong ball wasn't enough momentum, but Bill was. Overall this was a great video to learn about momentum.

ReplyDeletefruit (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.

ReplyDeleteFirst problem: Calculate the momentum of a 0.15 kg ball that is moving toward home plate at a velocity of 40m/s.
ReplyDelete1.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)

that would be news to me ....?
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Voskiul,
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteCalculate the momentum of a 2.7Kg brick launched from a giant slingshot at 50m/s.
1: p= mv
2: p= (2.7kg)(50m/s)
3: p= 207kg x 50m/s
4 : p= 135kg x m/s
Ans: The momentum of the brick that was launched was 135kg x m/s.
2.)
Which has a greater momentum, a 31.5kg arrow moving at a target at 66m/s or a 3.6 bullet moving at 896m/s?
Arrow:
1: p= mv
2: p= (31.5kg)(66m/s)
3: p= 2'079kg x m/s
Bullet:
1: p= mv
2: p= (3.6mg)(869m/s)
3: p= 3'128.4mg x m/s
ans: The bullet has the greater momentum at 3'128.4kg x m/s.
