Name (printed) _______________________________ First Day Stamp INTRODUCTION TO MOMENTUM AND IMPULSE 1. Momentum depends on mass as well as velocity. Find the momentum of a 50-kg person walking at 2.0 m/s and the momentum of a 10-g bullet moving at 1,000 m/s. Person Bullet BIG IDEA #1: 2. Now find the kinetic energy of the person and the bullet. Person Bullet BIG IDEA #2: 3. To change the momentum of an object, you must apply … 4. A 0.25 kg soccer ball is rolling at 8.0 m/s toward a player. The player kicks the ball back in the opposite direction, giving it a speed of 16 m/s. What is the average force, during the kick, between the player’s foot and the ball if the kick lasts -2 3.0 x 10 s? 5. 6. Raw eggs are fragile. They break easily. Can you think of a way to throw one as hard as possible without it breaking? Be specific. 7. Egg tosses are fun, especially when the distance between the participants is large. In one egg toss, a 0.60 kg egg is moving at 15 m/s. The egg can only take 24 N of force before breaking. How much time must the catch last in order for the egg not to break? BIG IDEA #3: 8. The photograph to the right shows a Pelton water wheel attached to an electric generator. Notice that the water wheel blades are more like little bowls rather than being traditionally flat. This causes the water to be splashed upward after striking the blades. Considering impulse and change in momentum, why would this be advantageous?

LAB COLLISIONS IN ONE DIMENSION INTRODUCTION The equipment pictured below can be used to produce collisions between two marbles. A flexible ruler is mounted into a curved metal frame. A steel marble is released in the groove of the ruler at its highest point and collides with another marble, which is set on a pedestal at the end of the ruler. The pedestal is positioned such that the marble on the pedestal is projected horizontally. PURPOSE To test the Law of Conservation of Momentum in one-dimensional collisions. PROCEDURE 1. Measure the masses of the steel and glass marbles. 2. Measure the distance the steel ball travels horizontally from the ruler when released from the upper end of the ruler and has no collision. 3. Position the glass marble on the pedestal so that it will be projected horizontally when struck by the steel marble (and in the same direction as the steel marble is moving). Measure the distance that each of the marbles travels horizontally from the end of the ruler when the steel marble is released from the upper end of the ruler and allowed to collide with the glass marble. The distances can be made more easily by allowing the marbles to strike carbon paper. DATA Mass of steel marble (kg): ________ Mass of glass marble (kg): ________ Distance of steel ball (m) with no collision Average distance of steel marble without collision (m): ______________ Distance of steel ball (m) with collision Average distance of steel marble with collision (m): ______________ Distance of glass ball (m) with collision Average distance of glass marble with collision (m): ______________ 6 QUESTIONS/CALCULATIONS (SHOW ALL WORK CAREFULLY) 1.
