Center of Mass (Momentum, Impulse, and Collision)

The document summarizes key concepts relating to center of mass, momentum, impulse, and collisions. It defines center of mass as the single point where any uniform force on an object is concentrated. Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of an object with both magnitude and direction. Impulse is the measure of how quickly force changes in both magnitude and direction. The document also provides sample problems and formulas for calculating center of mass, impulse, and momentum.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS

Center of Mass

1. Two point masses 3kg and 5kg are at 4m and 8m from the
 origin on X-axis. Locate the position of center of mass of
the two point masses from:
a.) the origin;
b.) 3kg mass.
MOMENTUM- The quantity of motion of an object
that has both a magnitude and a direction.
SOLUTION:
IMPULSE- A measure of how quickly force changes Given: m 1=3 kg and m 2=5 kg
in magnitude AND direction. a.) from the origin,
So x 1=4 m and x 2=8 m
COLLISION- two objects coming into each other m 1 x 1 +m 2 x 2
for a very short period. x com=
m 1 +m 2
( 3∗4 )+(5∗8)
x com=
3+5
FORMULAS
52
x com= =6.5 m
8
b.) from 3kg mass,
So x 1=0 m and x 2=4 m

1. FOR X-AXIS
Impulse
2. FOR Y-AXIS
2. A baseball is struck by a bat with a force of 3000N
for a duration of 0.05s. What is the impulse of the
3. FOR POINT OBJECT
baseball?
4. FOR GEOMETRIC SHAPE
SOLUTION:
I. MOMENTUM
J = Ft

II. IMPULSE J = (3000N)(0.05s)

J = 150 Ns

Momentum
III. THEOREM
3. What is the value of the momentum of a 10kg bowling
ball as it rolls down the alley at a velocity of 5m/s?
