Linear Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions
8.1 Linear Momentum and Impulse
The linear momentum pr
of a particle of mass mmoving
with velocity vr
is defined as:
r
p " mr
v
Note that pr
is a vector that points in the same direction as
the velocity vector vr
.
One can show that Newtons second law of motion,
! = amF r
r
, may be written in terms of linear momentum.

The net force!Fr
acting on a particle is equal to the timerate of change of its linear momentum.
Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum
When the net external forceacting on a system iszero,
then the total linear momentum of the system remainsconstant (or conserved). This is so because if ! = 0F

8.2 Conservation of Linear Momentum
When the net external forceacting on a system iszero,
then the total linear momentum of the system remains
constant (or conserved). This is so because if ! = 0Fr
,
then 0=dtpdr
! pr
= constant.
8.3 and 8.4 Momentum Conservation and Collisions
A collisionis an event during which two objects come
close to each other and interact by means of forces.

A. Elastic Collisions
An elastic collision is one in which the total kinetic
energy of the system is the same before and after the
collision. That is, the total kinetic energy is conserved.
Consider the following elasticcollision in one dimension:
(i) conservation of total linear momentum (if !Fr
=0)means that
BfBAfABiBAiA vmvmvmvm rrrr
+=+
which in this case yields:
)()()()( BfBAfABiBAiA vmvmvmvm +!=!+
(ii) conservation of total kinetic energy gives:

B. Inelastic CollisionsAn inelastic collisionis one for which the total kinetic
energy of the system is notconserved.
C. Completely (Perfectly) Inelastic Collisions
A completely inelastic collisionis one for which the
colliding bodies stick together and move as a unit after the
collision.

Often times, it is easier to solve for the components of the
final velocities than to solve directly for the magnitudes

8.5 The Center of Mass
The center of mass (CM)of a system of particles moves
as if all the mass of the system were concentrated at thatpoint.

That is, the net linear momentum of a system of particles
remains constant (is conserved) if no net external force
acts on the system.
If an isolated system consisting of two or more particles is
initially at rest, then its center of mass CM remains at rest
unless acted upon by a net external force.

8.6 Rocket Propulsion
The operation of a rocket depends on the law of
conservation of linear momentum applied to a system,
where the system is the rocket and the ejected fuel.
As a rocket moves in free space (a vacuum) its linear
momentum changes when some of its mass is released in
the form of ejected gases. The rocket is thus accelerated
as a result of the push or thrust from the exhaust
gases.
The process represents the inverseof a completely
inelastic collision; that is, linear momentum is conserved,
but the kinetic energy of the system is increasedat the
expense of the energy stored in the fuel of the rocket. Let
m= mass of the rocket plus fuel(-dm)= mass of ejected fuel
vex= exhaust speed of the ejected fuel relative to the
rocket. Thus vfuel= v - vex= speed of ejected fuel.
v= speed of rocket before ejecting the fuel

After the rocket ejects fuel of mass (dm), the speed of
the rocket increases to v + dv.
Applying the law of conservation of linear momentum tothis system,
r

m v = m+ dm( ) v+ dv( )+ "dm( ) v " vex( )

quantities and thus it is much smaller than the other terms,

Comments:
1.The increase in the speed of the rocket is
proportional to the exhaust speed vex.
2.
Thrust on the rocket is ma = mdvdt
= vexdm
dt. Note
that the thrust increases as the rate of change of mass
increases (i.e., as the burn rate increases).
3.We have assumed throughout this analysis that the
rocket is in gravity-free outer space. However,
gravity must be taken into account when a rocket islaunched from the surface of a planet. (see problem
8.112).
