Agenda
Today: Warm Up Review HW from 7.1 Practice Problems for 7.2 Intro to Collisions (7.3)
Tomorrow Conservation of Momentum Lab
Thursday: Review HW from 7.2
Finish Collisions (7.3)
Friday: Problem Solving Practice
Monday: Concepts Review
Tuesday Chapter 6 Test
Warm-Up:
Assume two cars have the same mass and speed going into a collision. Scenario A: Two cars collide with each
other but bounce off. Neither of them sustain noticeable damage.
Scenario B: Two cars collide with each other and crumple, sticking together after the crash.
1. In which scenario do you think energy is conserved?
2. In which scenario do you think the driver feels more force?
Conservation of Momentum Practice Problems
Practice Problems
1. Recoil: A boy on a skateboard initially at rest tosses an 8.0 kg jug of water in the forward direction at a speed of 3.0 m/s. If the boy and the skateboard move backward at 0.60 m/s, find the mass of the boy.
2. Collision: p. 234 #39 As long as everything is in grams (g) and centimeters per
second (cm/s), THERE IS NO NEED TO CONVERT.

Recap Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
Problem Solving with Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
Forces in Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
Objectives
Identify different types of collisions.
Calculate change in kinetic energy (or lack thereof) in different types of collisions.
Find the final velocity of objects in different types of collisions.
Understand the relationship between the type of collision and the force experienced by the object.
Elastic Collisions
Collisions
Collisions can be categorized into two types: elastic inelastic
Elastic collisions are when objects bounce off of each other. (Elastics are like rubber bands, and
rubber bounces) Scenario A.
Inelastic collisions are when objects stick together after the crash. Scenario B.
Elastic Collisions
In perfectly elastic collisions objects: Bounce off each other No loss of energy due to speed
(kinetic energy) No change of shape.
In real life, there are almost no perfectly elastic collisions. Almost always, some energy is
lost to sound or heat in a collision.
Elastic Collisions: Awesome Examples
Elastic Collisions: Problem Solving
Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in perfectly elastic collisions. Masses separate afterward.
Practice Problem
Inelastic Collisions
Inelastic Collisions
In inelastic collisions objects: Stay stuck together Kinetic energy is lost to:
Primarily internal energy Heat Sound
Objects are deformed (shape is changed.
In real life, most collisions are a combination of elastic and inelastic collisions. Objects will deform a little, and separate a little.
Inelastic Collisions: Awesome Example
Inelastic Collisions: Problem Solving
Only momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions. Kinetic energy is lost. Masses stick together afterward.
Practice Problem
Forces in Collisions
Forces in Collisions
Assume two objects that have the same mass and the same speed collide with each other.
In which type of collision do they experience a greater change in momentum? inelastic (both vehicles stop) elastic (both vehicles stop and reverse direction)
Elastic collisions have greater changes in speed, thus the objects experience more force!
Forces in Collisions: Examples
Think of a batter in baseball. Does the baseball experience more force when the batter: bunts (inelastic) hits a home run (elastic)
Your car is designed to crumple (inelastic), so that you experience less force.
Greater changes in momentum mean more force. Elastic collisions are more forceful!
Wrap-Up: Did we meet our objectives?
Identify different types of collisions.
Calculate change in kinetic energy (or lack thereof) in different types of collisions.
Find the final velocity of objects in different types of collisions.
Understand the relationship between the type of collision and the force experienced by the object.
