5 Elastic and inelastic collisions Momentum The phrase gathering momentum is used in everyday life to indicate that something or someone has got going and is likely to prove difficult to stop. There are echoes of this in sport, where the phrase the momentum has turned in the other team s favour can often be heard. In Physics momentum is an indication of how difficult it would be to stop something. The faster or more massive an object is the more momentum it will have. The precise definition of momentum is: The momentum (p) of any object is the product of its mass (m) and its velocity (v): p = mv Since mass is measured in kilograms and velocity in metres per second, the units of momentum are kgms 1. Momentum is a vector quantity, and the direction of the momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity. It is useful because it is a conserved quantity, i.e. the total momentum is the same before and after a collision, in the absence of external forces. This is called the principle of conservation of momentum. 2
6 Momentum in collisions Notes 1. You should learn the statement of the principle of conservation of momentum: the total quantity of momentum before a collision is the same as the total quantity of momentum after the collision in the absence of an external force. 2. This is a fundamental law of physics and applies to all collisions: road accidents, collisions between meteors and planets, collisions between atoms. 3. The law applies to total momentum of a system, not individual momentum. 4. Since momentum is a vector quantity we cannot add momenta (plural of momentum) like ordinary numbers; we must take account of direction. For the problems that we will consider this means that some momenta (usually in the original direction) will be considered to be positive (+) while other momenta (the opposite direction) will be negative ( ). 5. In problems it is essential to demonstrate that you know the conservation law. This should be stated as part of your working as: Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision 3
7 Worked examples 1. Two cars are travelling towards each other as shown below. They collide, lock together and move forwards (i.e. to the right) after the collision. Find the speed of the cars immediately after the collision. Before After 10 m s 1 8 m s 1? 1200 kg A 1000 kg B 1200 kg 1000 kg Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision Direction take motion as + m 1 u 1 = = 12,000 (m 1 + m 2 )v = ( )v m 2 u 2 = = = 2200v total momentum before = total momentum after = 2200v v = ie v = 1.8 m s 1 to the right 4
8 2. One vehicle (vehicle A) approaches another (vehicle B) from behind as shown below. The vehicles are moving with the speeds shown. After the collision the front vehicle is travelling at 11 ms 1. Calculate the speed of vehicle B after the collision. Before A B A After B 12 m s 1 9 m s 1 11 m s 1? 1200 kg 800 kg 1200 kg 800 kg Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision Take motion as + m 1 u 1 = = m 1 v 1 = m 2 u 2 = = m 2 v 2 = 800 v 2 total momentum before = total momentum after = v = v 2 v 2 = v 2 = 10.5 ms 1 to the right Note: In momentum problems it can help to lay out your working under the headings before and after. Always draw a diagram of the situation before and after, including all relevant details such as masses, velocities and directions of motion. Include the statement of conservation of momentum. 5
9 Kinetic energy in collisions Momentum is always conserved in collisions and explosions. By the law of conservation of energy, the total energy is also conserved in collisions and explosions, but kinetic energy is not necessarily conserved. There are two kinds of collision: (a) those in which kinetic energy (E k ) is conserved i.e. total E k before = total E k after This is called an elastic collision. (b) those in which kinetic energy is not conserved i.e. E k is lost during the collision to other forms of energy, such as heat energy This is called an inelastic collision. If after a collision the objects stick together, this is always an inelastic collision. If the objects bounce apart the collision may be elastic; the only sure way of finding out is to calculate the total E k before and after the collision. Usually this will involve using conservation of momentum first to calculate all the relevant velocities. Remember, momentum is always conserved in the absence of external forces. Reminder: E k = 1 2 mv 2 6
10 A special case If two objects of the same mass collide elastically, they exchange velocities after the collision. For example, if a cue ball travelling at 2 ms 1 collides with a second snooker ball of the same mass (a head-on collision, with no spin involved), the second ball will move off at 2 ms 1 and the cue ball will stop. This effect can be seen in Newton s cradle. (You may want to look at some YouTube clips of giant Newton s cradles.) Explosions and Newton s third law Explosions Explosions are treated in the same way as collisions, in that total momentum is conserved. For example, in the case of a bullet being fired from a gun, the total momentum before firing is zero, since nothing is moving. After firing, the bullet has momentum in the forward direction. The gun must therefore have the same magnitude of momentum in the opposite direction so the two momenta cancel each other out, leaving the total momentum still equal to zero. For this reason the gun must have a recoil velocity after the explosion (i.e. the gun jumps backwards). 7
11 It should be obvious that in an explosion kinetic energy is not conserved. Think about this. If a bomb explodes leading to an overall gain in kinetic energy. What kind of energy did the bomb have before the explosion? Worked example A gun of mass 1 kg fires a bullet of mass 5 g at a speed of 100 ms 1. Calculate the recoil velocity of the gun. Before After 0 ms 1 1 kg kg? 100 ms 1 1 kg kg Total momentum before explosion = total momentum after explosion Take motion as + momentum = 0 m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 = 0 (1 v 1 ) + ( ) = 0 (1 v 1 ) = 0 v 1 = -0.5 ie v 1 = 0.5 ms 1 in the opposite direction to the bullet 8
12 Momentum and Newton s third law It can be shown that conservation of momentum and Newton s third law mean the same thing. Starting from conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after m 1 u 1 + m 2 u 2 = m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 Rearrange: m 2 u 2 m 2 v 2 = m 1 v 1 m 1 u 1 m 2 (u 2 v 2 ) = m 1 (v 1 u 1 ) or: m 2 (v 2 u 2 ) = m 1 (v 1 u 1 ) ie (change in momentum = (change in momentum of of object 2) object 1) In other words, in any particular example involving two objects colliding, if the momentum of one object increases by, for example, 6 kgms 1, then the momentum of the other object must decrease by 6 kgms 1. Consider again the previous example. We had concluded that: m 2 (v 2 u 2 ) = m 1 (v 1 u 1 ) Applying a = v-u as at = v-u t And as F = ma m 2 a 2 t = m 1 a 1 t F 2 t = F 1 t so F 2 = F 1 Newton s third law states that if one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force on the first body that is equal in size and opposite in direction. Note: These forces operate on different bodies so they do not cancel each other out. 9
13 Impulse Obvious question: you re stranded by a fire on an upper floor and have to jump. Would you rather jump onto grass or concrete? Why? Does what you land on affect your speed of fall? What difference does a different material make when you land on it? Try to use precise physics terminology rather than everyday language. What is the physics behind this situation? Let s look at some numbers. A student jumps from a window ledge 2 m high. Find their velocity when they reach the ground. This will be the same whatever surface they land on. When the student lands, the different surfaces have a different amount of give. This means the time for the student s deceleration (negative acceleration) will be different. For this example we will take the time of landing on the concrete to be 0.01 s and on the grass to be 0.3 s, as the grass gives way underneath. (a) Estimate the average force exerted on the student by the concrete and grass. (b) Find the deceleration and therefore the average force: concrete grass What do you think about these results? If you had no choice but to jump onto concrete, what could you do to help minimise the chance of injury? In each of these examples, the change in momentum is the same since the speed at which the student hits the ground is the same. The difference is the time in which the change in momentum takes place. Rearranging Newton s second law helps to make this more explicit. 10
14 Momentum and Newton s second law Newton s second law: F = ma but a = v-u t F = m v-u t so F = m v-u = mv - mu t t which is the rate of change of momentum. This is how Newton himself defined his second law. The law can be rearranged: Ft = mv - mu The product Ft is called the impulse. Impulse is a vector quantity. The units of Ft could be kgms 1 since these are the units of momentum, but they are also Ns, and these are the units that should be used for impulse. 11
15 The force calculated from the impulse relationship is the average force. The force involved is rarely constant, eg consider a tennis ball hit by a racquet: The force exerted by the racquet on the ball will change with time. The impulse is calculated from the area under the graph, so: impulse = area under a force time graph This is the case regardless of the shape of the graph. Leading on from this, what else is represented by the area under a force time graph? 12
16 Worked examples 1. In a snooker game, the cue ball, of mass 0.2 kg, is accelerated from the r est to a velocity of 2 ms 1 by a force from the cue which lasts 50 ms. what size of force is exerted by the cue? u = 0, v = 2 m s 1, t = 50 ms = 0.05 s, m = 0.2 kg, F =? Ft = mv - mu F 0.05 = (0.2 2) (0.2 0) F 0.05 = 0.4 F = 8 N 2. A tennis ball of mass 100 g, initially at rest, is hit by a racquet. The racquet is in contact with the ball for 20 ms and the force of contact varies over this period, as shown in the graph. Determine the speed of the ball as it l eaves the racquet. impulse = area under graph = ½ = 4 Ns u = 0, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg, v =? Ft = mv - mu 4 = 0.1v (0.1 0) 4 = 0.1v v = 40 ms 1 13
17 3. A tennis ball of mass 0.1 kg travelling horizontally at 10 ms 1 is struck in the opposite direction by a tennis racket. The tennis ball rebounds horizontally at 15 ms 1 and is in contact with the racket for 50 ms. Calculate the force exerted on the ball by the racket. m = 0.1 kg, u = 10 m s 1, v = -15 m s 1 (opposite direction to u) t = 50 ms = 0.05 s Ft = mv - mu 0.05F = (0.1 ( 15)) (0.1 10) 0.05F = F = 2.5 F = 50 N (the negative sign indicates force in opposite direction to the initial velocity) 14

Four steel spheres, each of mass 0.1 kg, are suspended so that they are in a straight line. Sphere 1 is pulled to the side and released, as shown in diagram I Diagram I Diagram II 19
23 When sphere 1 strikes sphere 2 (as shown by the dotted lines), sphere 4 moves off the line and reaches the position shown by the dotted lines. The student estimates that sphere 1 has a speed of 2 m s 1 when it strikes sphere 2. She also estimates that sphere 4 leaves the line with an initial speed of 2 m s 1. Hence conservation of momentum has been demonstrated. A second student suggests that when the demonstration is repeated there is a possibility that spheres 3 and 4, each with a speed of 0 5 m s 1, could move off the line as shown in diagram II. Use your knowledge of physics to show this is not possible. 20
