Chapter 7-Momentum
Last Time
A juggler tosses a ball upward just as a ball in the air reaches the top of its arc. The acceleration of the ball in the hand is upward.
The acceleration of the ball in the air is
downward
upward
zero
Acceleration At The Top
Ball in the hand
Does it have weight
Unbalanced Force?
Ball at the top
Does it have weight
Unbalanced Force?
F = ma
This Time
Impulse and momentum
Newton and his 2nd law
Sports
Conservation of momentum
Immortality and invariance
Rocket Science
 Bootstrap  machines
How Newton Really Said It
Galileo’s impedo
Proportionality with height or velocity?
Court politics
Newton’s pronouncement
English impedo was velocity proportional
Force proportional to rate of change
Hitting the Ball
Learning golf
Follow through
FDt=D(mv)
Maximizing momentum
Force is strength
Time is skill
FDt=D(mv)
Hitting the Board
Maximizing Force
Momentum is strength
Time is skill
FDt=D(mv)
Aiming beyond
Sports of hitting
Using hammers
Getting Hit
Boxing
Get it over with?
Fading with the blow
FDt=D(mv)
Starting a train
Taking A Fall
Judo falls
Spread out to minimize pressure
Slamming the floor with your arm
Newton’s third law
Action and reaction
Force is only half the interaction
Arm and body in freefall
Immortal Momentum
Impulse of action = Impulse of reaction
If
FA = FR
and      Dt = D t     then
D(mv)A= D(mv)R
Always !!
Transferring momentum
Not always obvious
The Earth comes up!
Pendulums
Where does the momentum go?
Max at bottom
zero at top
Isolating system
(Work is next chapter)
Rockets
 Gottard and the New York Times
Center of Mass of rocket and fuel
Bootstrap Machines
Paul Bunion
The Dean patent
Spinning machines
Next Time Question
A trip along US 50
Given:
20 tons
Weigh
More?
Less?
Same?
