Conservation of Momentum
Purpose
To discover what happens to the total momentum when objects collide.
Connections to What You Already Know About in Life
You might think of conservation as being careful with how much water or gas you use. Or of
conservation of the environment. But conservation can also mean that conditions before and after an event
do not change. These actually are almost the same meaning: when we talk about conserving resources, we
want as little change as possible.
Vocabulary
Elastic collision, inelastic collision, momentum
Background
In science we talk about laws of conservation of mass, energy, or momentum. These are all laws that
examine the state or status of a quantity before and after an event and they predict that within a confined
system, the state will not have changed.
Conservation of momentum means that the total momentum of any group of objects before an event is
the same as it is afterwards. No momentum has been lost and none has been gained. Although collisions
may be elastic or inelastic, and even if some balls bounce off at greater velocity than they started with,
energy really is conserved, and total momentum remains constant.
Procedure
1.
Start
Virtual Physics
and select
Conservation of Momentum
from the list of assignments. The lab will
open in the Mechanics laboratory.
2.
The laboratory will be set up with two balls of same mass on a table. You will perform four experiments
to look at the momentum of the system by looking at the momentum of each ball within the system.
3.
Trial 1:
Two moving balls.
The masses of the balls are the same. The velocities of the balls are also the
same magnitude but in opposite directions, towards each other. The balls start out separated by 10
meters. Click the
Start
button to watch them collide and click the
Pause
button a few seconds after they
bounce off each other. Record the final velocity for each ball from the display panel below the table in
the data table below. You can display the velocity of the second ball by clicking on the ball, or clicking on
the
Tracking
arrows to change the display.

button to start recording data. Choose your own masses and velocities for each ball. Try it
with the balls initially traveling in the same direction, but with one of the balls traveling faster than the
other. Switch the elasticity to 0 again to observe an inelastic collision. Predict
what you think the
resulting velocities might be. Test this prediction. Record the data.

Impact extinction 65 million years ago over 50% of all species became extinct, ending the reign of dinosaurs and opening the way for mammals to become the dominant land vertebrates. A theory for this extinction, with considerable supporting evidence, is that a 10-km-wide 1.8×1015kg asteroid traveling at speed 11 km/s crashed into Earth.
A) Determine the change in velocity of Earth due to the impact. Mass of Earth is 5.98×1024kg.
B) Determine the average force that Earth exerted on the asteroid while stopping it. Assume that stopping distance is 0.60 km (depth of the crater created)
C) Determine the internal energy produced by the collision (a bar chart for the process might help). By comparison, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II were each equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT (1 ton of TNT releases 4.2×109J of energy).

Ion Thrusters III: Current and Power. You and your team are designing a new propulsion engine that ejects xenon (Xe)
ions in one direction, causing a spacecraft to accelerate in the opposite direction, in accordance with the conservation
of linear momentum and the impulse-momentum theorem. This is exactly what happens when a rocket engine expels
high velocity particles when burning fuel, except that, in the case of the ion drive, the ions are accelerated with an
electric field. In this process, Xe gas atoms are ionized so that they each acquire a net charge of +e. They are then
subjected to an electric field, which accelerates and ejects the ions from the engine. In the thruster you are designing,
the Xe atoms accelerate through a potential difference of 2.06 kV between a grounded electrode and a negatively
charged grid, through which the ions are ejected at a speed of 55.0 km/s relative to the engine. (a) If Xe ions are ejected
