Chapter 6 and 8- Momentum and Rotational Motion Jay Ely-Wasinger Learning Guide I. Vocabulary & Terminology: Explain each of the following vocabulary terms in 1-2 full, coherent sentences . Include pictures or diagrams to increase the clarity of your explanation. -Momentum- Momentum is the measurement of the motion of an object calculated by the product of the mass and velocity of the object. -Inelastic Collisions are collisions in which there is a loss in kinetic energy. -Torque is the measurement of the force required to move an object about its axis of rotation. -Impulse describes or quantifies the effect of a force acting over time to change an object's momentum. -Radian is a unit of measurement used for angles of circles, where one radian is the arc length of the circle that is equal to the radius. -Moment of Inertia is the measurement of how an object resists angular acceleration. -Elastic Collisions are collisions where there is no loss in kinetic energy. -Angular Velocity is the rate at which an object revolves around its axis. -Angular Momentum the measurement of the rotation of an object, which is the product of its moment of inertial and its angular velocity. Make sure the 1-d box is checked. Use the PhET collision simulation at: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/collision- lab/latest/collision-lab_all.html to work out the answers to the following questions. Before you start: Turn elasticity down to zero Click “more data” to allow you to enter in values for the mass and velocity. For each question, fill out the table with values extracted from the question. Use these to fill in the data on the app.
1) A ball travelling at 2m/s with a mass of 0.5kg collides with a stationary ball of 1kg, and they stick together. What is the momentum before and after the collision? Mass ( ..... ) Velocity before collision ( ...... ) Velocity after collision ( ....... ) Momentum before ( .......... ) Momentum after( ........ ) Ball 1 0.5 kg 2 m/s 0.67 m/s 1.0 kg m/s 0.33 kg m/s Ball 2 1.0 kg 0 m/s 0.67 m/s 0 kg m/s 0.67 kg m/s Both balls 1.5 kg 1.34 m/s 1.0 kg m/s 1.0 kg m/s 2) What do you notice? What do we call this concept? The momentum before and after the collision were the same, due to the law of conservation of momentum. 3) What is the unit of momentum? The unit of momentum is kg m/s, or a Newton Second. 4) How fast must a 0.3kg ball be moving to have a momentum of 2.1kg.m/s? Mass Velocity Momentum Ball 1 0.3 kg 7.0 m/s 2.1 kg m/s
5) A 0.66kg ball travelling at 0.4 m/s collides with a ball of 0.33kg, and they stick together... a) What is the total momentum after the collision? b) How fast will the two balls (which are now stuck together) be moving after the collision? Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision (m/s) Momentum before (kg.m/s) Momentum after (kg.m/s) Ball 1 0.66 kg 0.4 m/s 0.27 m/s 0.26 kg m/s 0.18 kg m/s Ball 2 0.33 kg 0.0 m/s 0.27 m/s 0.0 kg m/s 0.09 kg m/s Both balls 0.99 kg 0.27 m/s 0.26 kg m/s 0.26 kg m/s 6) What happens to the momentum of a 1kg ball if it collides head on with a 2kg ball coming the other way with an equal and opposite velocity? Mass (kg) Velocity before collision (m/s) Velocity after collision (m/s) Momentum before (kg.m/s) Momentum after (kg.m/s) Ball 1 1 kg 0.5 m/s -0.17 m/s 0.5 kg m/s -0.17 kg m/s Ball 2 2 kg -0.5 m/s -0.17 m/s -1.0 kg m/s -0.33 kg m/s Both balls 3 kg
