  • Ex 4D, p.108-112, Momentum P = mv
  • Ex 4C, p.105-107, Impulse ΔP = FΔt

Momentum

Conservation of Momentum
In the absence of external forces the total momentum of a system is always conserved

Impulse
The change in Momentum for a single object
ΔP = Pf - Pi
&
ΔP = FΔt
&
ΔP = mΔv
  • The unis are eithor Ns or kgms-1 , this is the same unit and the one that is used depends on the context
  • Impulse on one object is always equal and opposite to the impulse on the other onject - Newton's Third Law

Term 1 Week 4 2019

Homework:
  • Ex 4E, p.115-117 Kinematics (from last week)
  • Ex 4F, p.119-124 Projectile Motion (from last week)
  • Ex 4A, p.90-94 Vectors (from last week)
  • Ex 4B, p.97-104 Forces (from last week)
  • Ex 4H, p.132-134, Circular Motion

Circular Motion
  • Velocity is always at a tangent to the circle. Even if the speed remains constant, the velocity is changing because it is accelerating.

vc = 2𝝿r/T

  • Centrapetal Acceleration is always toward the centre of the circle.
  • ac = mv2/r
  • Centapetal Force is the Net Force, and is also always towards the centre of the circle.

Fc = mv2/r

Term 1 Week 2 2019

Homework:
  • Ex 4E, p.115-117, Kinematic Equations

Kinematic Equations
Only used when an object is accelerating
vf = vi + at
← missing d
vf2 = vi2 + 2ad
← missing t
d = vit + ½at2
← missing vf
d = (vi + vf)t/2
← missing a

Choose the kinematic equation based on:

  • what quantities you are given
  • what quantity is asked for
  • what quantity is not involved
