2022 WORKBOOK | Grade PHYSICAL SCIENCES 12 TAKE NOTE Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. p - momentum m – mass v – velocity p = mv Example: An object, mass 10 kg, moves with a constant velocity of 5 m.s-1 due east as shown in the sketch below. The momentum of the object is calculated as follows. P = mv = 10 x 5 = 50 kg.m.s-1 east NOTE: Momentum is a vector quantity and the direction must be indicated. Page 5

2022 WORKBOOK | Grade PHYSICAL SCIENCES 12 TAKE NOTE QUESTION 1 Initially a girl on roller skates is at rest on a smooth horizontal pavement. The girl throws a parcel, of mass 8 kg, horizontally to the right at a speed of 4 m⋅s-1. Immediately after the parcel has been thrown, the girl-roller-skate combination moves at a speed of 0,6 m⋅s-1. Ignore the effects of friction and rotation. 1.1 Define the term momentum in words. (2) 1.2 Will the girl-roller-skate combination move TO THE RIGHT or TO THE LEFT after the parcel is thrown? NAME the law in physics that can be used to explain your choice of direction. (2) The total mass of the roller skates is 2 kg. 1.3 Calculate the mass of the girl. (5) 1.4 Calculate the magnitude of the impulse that the girl-roller-skate combination is experiencing while the parcel is being thrown. (3) 1.5 Without any further calculation, write down the change in momentum experienced by the parcel while it is being thrown. (2) [14] Page 7

The graph below shows how the force of the ball varies with the time. 3.1 What does the area under this graph represent? 3.2 Calculate the speed at which the ball leaves the hockey stick. 3.3 The same player hits a practice ball of the same mass, but which is made from a softer material. The hit is such that the ball moves off with the same speed as before. How will the area, the height and the base of the triangle that forms the graph, compare with that of the original ball? Page 9
2022 WORKBOOK | Grade PHYSICAL SCIENCES 12 TAKE NOTE Momentum • Define momentum as… the product of an object's mass and its velocity. • Describe linear momentum as …. a vector quantity with the same direction as the velocity of the object. • Calculate the momentum of a moving object using p = mv. • Describe the vector nature of momentum and illustrate it with some simple examples. • Draw vector diagrams to illustrate the relationship between the initial momentum, the final momentum and the change in momentum for each of the cases above. Newton's second law in terms of momentum • State Newton's second law of motion in terms of momentum: The net (or resultant) force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object in the direction of the net force. • Express Newton's second law of motion in symbols: Fnet= ΔP/Δt • Explain the relationship between net force and change in momentum for a variety of motions. • Calculate the change in momentum when a resultant/net force acts on an object and its velocity: ○ Increases in the direction of motion, e.g. 2nd stage rocket engine ○ fires ○ Decreases, e.g. brakes are applied ○ Reverses its direction of motion, e.g. a soccer ball kicked back in the direction it came from Page 10
2022 WORKBOOK | Grade PHYSICAL SCIENCES 12 Impulse • Define impulse as the product of the resultant/net force acting on an object and the time the net force acts on the object. • Use the impulse-momentum theorem, FnetΔt = mΔv, to calculate the resultant/net force exerted, the time for which the force is applied and the change in momentum for a variety of situations involving the motion of an object in one dimension. • Explain how the concept of impulse applies to safety considerations in everyday life, e.g. airbags, seatbelts and arrestor beds. Conservation of momentum and elastic and inelastic collisions • Explain what is meant by a system (in Physics). • Explain (when working with systems) what is meant by internal and external forces. • Explain what is meant by an isolated system (in Physics), i.e. a system on which the net external force is zero. (An isolated system excludes external forces that originate outside the colliding bodies, e.g. friction. Only internal forces, e.g. contact forces between the colliding objects, are considered.) • State the principle of conservation of linear momentum: The total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant (is conserved). • Apply the conservation of momentum to the collision of two objects moving in one dimension (along a straight line) with the aid of an appropriate sign convention. • Distinguish between elastic collisions and inelastic collisions by calculation.
