Let’s take this situation as an example. Two children on ice skates are initially
at rest. They push each other so, eventually the boy moves to the right while the girl
moves to the opposite direction, away from each other. Newton’s Third Law tells us
that the force that the girl exerts on the boy and the force that makes the girl move to
the other direction are of equal magnitude but of opposite directions. The boy and the
girl make up a system – a collection of objects that affect one another. Figure 4.3. No
net/unbalanced external force acts on the boy-girl system, thus the total momentum
of the system does not change (figure 4.3) Remember that momentum, like velocity
and force, is a vector quantity. The momentum gained by the girl is of equal magnitude
but opposite direction to the momentum gained by the boy. In this system, no
momentum is gained or lost. We say that momentum is conserved.
Figure 4.3
Figure 4.3 In this example, the total momentum of the boiy -girl system before
pushing is zero. After pushing, the total momnetum of the boy-girl system is still zero
because the momentum of the girl is of equal magnitude but opposite direction to the
momentum of the boy. Note that the momentum of the boy alone is not the same
before and after pushing; and the momentum of the girl alone is not the same before
and after pushing .

Activity 4.1
Balloon Rocket
Objective:
• Describe how a balloon rocket works and how conservation of
momentum explains rocket motion.
5
Materials:
Balloon
String/nylon (at least 2m)
Tape
Paper clip
Straw
Pinch of starch
Procedure:
1. Insert the string into the straw before stretching it over the two posts. You
can use other chairs as posts. Make sure the string is tight.
2.Put a pinch of starch inside the balloon before inflating it. Twist the opened
end and temporarily secure it with a paper clip.
3.Tape the straw to the balloon such that it is aligned with the balloon’s
opening ( see Figure 4.4)
6
Observations/Guide Questions:
1.What can you say about the initial momentum of the system before
releasing the air from the balloon?
2.What did you observe after releasing the air from the balloon?
5.From your answer in Q4, how does the velocity of the air that is pushed
out of the rocket compare to the velocity of the balloon rocket?
At the start, our system, which consisted of the balloon and the air inside it
was stationary so the total momentum of the system was zero. When we let the air
inside the balloon out, we noticed that the balloon moved. The force that caused the
balloon to move came from the air that was pushed out of it. There was no external
force involved. Thus, the total momentum of the system was conserved and remained
zero. If the balloon had its momentum in one direction, the air must have an equal and
opposite momentum for the total momentum to remain zero.
Change in momentum = 0
Since the mass of the balloon is greater than the mass of air, the velocity of
the air must be greater in magnitude than the velocity of the balloon, and must be
opposite in direction.

What is it
_____________________________________________
Concept Check
Suppose the entire world population gathers in one spot and at the sounding
of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up. While all the people are in the air, does
Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
Example 1a
Two ice skaters stand together. They” push off” and travel directly away from
each other, the boy with a velocity of +1.50 m/s. If the boy weighs 735.0 N and the girl,
490.0 N, what is the girl’s velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be
frictionless.)
Solution:
Mass Velocity
Boy 75.00 kg 1.50 m/s
Girl 50.00 kg ?
8
Total Initial Momentum = Total Final Momentum
0 = Pboy + Pgirl
-Pboy = Pgirl
- (mv) boy = (mv) girl
- 112.5 kgm/s = 50.0 kg( Vgirl)
- 2.25 m/s = Vgirl
The girl moves with a velocity of 2.25 m/s opposite to the direction of the boy.
Remember!
Example 1b
Two ice skaters stand together. They “push off” and travel directly away from
each other, the boy with a velocity of +0.50 m/s and the girl with a velocity of -0.65m/s.
If the mass of the boy is 60.0kg, what is the girl’s mass? (Consider the ice to be
frictionless)
Solution
The momentum of the boy-girl system is conserved. There is no change in the
momentum of the system before and after the push off.
Total Initial Momentum = Total Final Momentum
0 = P boy + P girl
-P boy = P girl
-(mv)boy = (mv) girl
-30.0 kg m/s= (m girl) – 0.65 m/s
45 kg = m girl

2. A 10kg ball moving at 30m/s strikes a 12kg ball at rest. After the collision
the 10kg ball is moving with a velocity of 13m/s. What is the velocity of the second ball
after the collision?
3. An 11kg ball moving at 33m/s strikes a second ball at rest. After the collision
the 11kg ball is moving with a velocity of 13m/s and the second ball is moving with a
velocity of 8m/s. What is the mass of the second ball?
4, A 0.5kg ball strikes a second 1.5kg ball at rest. After the collision the 0.5kg ball is
moving with a velocity of 13m/s and the second ball is moving with a velocity of 8m/s.
What is the initial velocity of the first ball?
5.Two identical billiard balls traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision and
rebound. If the balls had twice the mass, but maintained the same size and speed,
how would the rebound be different?
What’s More
___________________________________________________________________
What is Collision?
In an isolated system, the total momentum of the system before the collision is
equal to the total momentum of the system after collision.
Collisions are categorized according to whether the total kinetic energy of the
system changes. Kinetic energy may be lost during collisions when (1) it is converted
to heat or other forms like binding energy, sound, light (if there is spark), etc. and (2)
it is spent in producing deformation or damage such as when two cars collide. The two
types of collision are:
1.Elastic collision – one in which the total kinetic energy of the system does
not change and colliding objects bounce off after collision.
10
2.Inelastic collision - one in which the total kinetic energy of the system
changes (i.e., converted to some other form of energy). Objects that stick together
after collision is said to be perfectly elastic.
In Figure 4.5A, a moving steel ball pendulum collides head on with another
steel ball. The collision is elastic, that is, the kinetic energy of the system (2 steel balls)
is the same before and after the collision. The total momentum of the system before
the collision is equal to the product of the first ball’s mass and velocity. The total
momentum of the system after collision must be equal to the total momentum before
the collision. The first ball comes to rest while the second ball moves away with a
velocity equal to the first ball. This is the case when the two balls have equal masses.
The momentum of the first ball is transferred to the second ball. The first ball loses its
momentum while the second ball gains momentum equal to that of the first ball’s
momentum (Figure 4.5 A).
What do you think would happen if you pull two balls away and release them at
+the same time? Why is it so?
11
Example
A 3.0 x 102 g cart moves on an air track at 1.2 m/s. It collides with ad sticks to
another cart of mass 5.0 x 102 g, which was stationary before collision. What is the
velocity of the combined cart after collision?
Solution:
Cart 2 0. 50 kg 0
Since the two carts stuck together after collision, they have the same velocity
after collision. Two combined carts move at 0.45 m/s after the collision.
Figure 4.5 B . Inelastic Collision. Two cars/ objects collide, stick together and move as
one.
