Linear momentum
• Linear momentum (or, simply momentum) of a point-like object (particle) is
• SI unit of linear momentum is kg*m/s
• Momentum is a vector, its direction coincides with the direction of velocity

Newton’s Second Law revisited
• Originally, Newton formulated his Second Law in a more general form
• The rate of change of the momentum of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object
• For a constant mass

Center of mass
• In a certain reference frame we consider a system of particles, each of which can be described by a mass and a position vector
• For this system we can define a center of mass:

Newton’s Second Law for a system of particles
• From the previous slide:
• Here is a resultant force on particle i
• According to the Newton’s Third Law, the forces that particles of the system exert on each other (internal forces) should cancel:
• Here is the net force of all external forces that act on the system (assuming the mass of the system does not change)

Linear momentum for a system of particles
• We define a total momentum of a system as:
• Using the definition of the center of mass
• The linear momentum of a system of particles is equal to the product of the total mass of the system and the velocity of the center of mass

Conservation of linear momentum
• From the Newton’s Second Law
• If the net force acting on a system is zero, then
• If no net external force acts on a system of particles, the total linear momentum of the system is conserved (constant)
• This rule applies independently to all components

Impulse
• During a collision, an object is acted upon by a force exerted on it by other objects participating in the collision
• We define impulse as:

Elastic and inelastic collisions
• During a collision, the total linear momentum is always conserved if the system is isolated (no external force)
• It may not necessarily apply to the total kinetic energy
• If the total kinetic energy is conserved during the collision, then such a collision is called elastic
• If the total kinetic energy is not conserved during the collision, then such a collision is called inelastic
• If the total kinetic energy loss during the collision is a maximum (the objects stick together), then such a collision is called perfectly inelastic

Chapter 9Problem 18
A bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length l and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle?
Chapter 9Problem 57
A bullet of mass m is fired into a block of mass M initially at rest at the edge of a frictionless table of height h. The bullet remains in the block, and after impact the block lands a distance d from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet.
