Impulse momentum Definition and 35 Threads

I really can't find anything in my textbook about how PE relates to 2D collisions, but here is what I do know... ΔPE = mgΔh And I know that since it is a completely inelastic equation kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is conserved. The change in kinetic energy should be equal to the...

I have been trying to make sense of the derivation of pressure under Kinetic Theory of Gases chapter, but it's not making sense to me when the impulse momentum equation is used for the collision between a gas molecule and the wall of the container. The book says that for the elastic collision...

I have tried this same approach three times and I got the same answer. I can't figure out what's wrong. Btw answer is 12mu/(3+cos2α) And yes, sorry for my shitty handwriting. If you can't understand the reasoning behind any step then please let me know.

when the net force is constant then Q1. rate of change of momentum (dp/dt) is zero or constant Q2. assuming dp/dt is constant we replaced it with ----> p2-p1(total change in momentum ) ? how?

$$\overrightarrow{p_i}=\overrightarrow{0},~\overrightarrow{p_f}=m_c\overrightarrow{v_f}$$ $$\overrightarrow{p_f}-\overrightarrow{p_i}=\int\limits_{t_i}^{t_f}\overrightarrow{F}dt$$ $$t_i=0,~t_f=\frac{m_s}{b}$$ $$m_c\overrightarrow{v_f}=\overrightarrow{F}\frac{m_s}{b}\Rightarrow...

I don't attempt solving a problem until I fully understand it, conceptually. After the hit (when maximum velocity is reached) the person starts losing momentum, having a constant upwards acceleration. The forces acting on the person are gravity and the normal to the ground. $$N - mg = ma$$...

Consider a case- Force excerted on a stationary flat plate held normal to the jet. The Jet strikes on plate (see fig.) Which is smooth hence the exit velococity of jet = entering velocity of jet. According to theory. The fore is applied on plate due to change in momentum of jet. But my doubt...

Homework Statement I have abit of problem understanding this 2 question, I would appreciate if someone can guide me along. For diagram 1 (Left) I interpret the condition as: At 0sec, initial velocity is 0, At 5sec final velocity is unknown. For diagram 2 (Right) I interpret the...

Homework Statement For impulse momentum, I know that collision between two object, impulse = 0. Can somebody explain to me how come for this question the impulse is 0 "shaft A engaged to shaft b" has the same meaning as collision? And I assume that it is right for me to add shaft A and shaft...

Homework Statement I was told by a friend that M1+I1-2=M2 is actually FT=mVf-mVi. So using FT=mVf-mVi to solve the following question... The Attempt at a Solution FT=mVf-mVi (F)(0.15)=800(0)-800(5000/3.6) F=-7407.4N Ans is 7407.4N positive. Can I ask did I get my sign wrong?

we have two concepts 1)if force is applied for a distance x(i.e work) it increases the kinetic energy of a mass 2)if force is applied for a time t(i.e impulse) it increases the momentum of the mass why there are two concepts. Are the above two same?
