Study Notes
Momentum
- Momentum describes an object’s motion and is influenced by mass and velocity.
- It can be calculated using the formula: Momentum = mass x velocity.
- A higher momentum indicates a more challenging task to bring an object to a halt.
- Examples: A fast baseball has high momentum due to its speed, while a slow-moving truck has high momentum due to its mass.
Impulse
- Impulse represents the change in momentum of an object due to a force applied over a specific period.
- Its calculation is: Impulse = Force x Time
- This indicates that a longer force application time results in a less intense force.
Impulse-Momentum Theorem
- This theorem asserts that an object's impulse is equivalent to its change in momentum.
- When an object falls and makes contact with a surface, a rapid change in momentum occurs, and this change is equivalent to the impulse applied by the surface.
Impact Time and Force Distribution
- A hard surface impact leads to rapid momentum change, resulting in a high peak force over a short period.
- Impact time is extended by soft surfaces like cushions, resulting in a longer force application time.
- This extended time leads to a lower peak force, reducing risk of injury.
Application
- A concrete surface results in a short impact time, producing a high peak force, increasing injury risk.
- A foam cushion, due to its compression, extends impact time, lowering the force required to stop the fall, creating a safer landing.
