We now define a quantity known as momentum, as , and the change in momentum over a discrete time interval is defined as the impulse, :I

Note: In comparison with potential and kinetic energy, which are scalar quantities, impulse and momentum are vector quantities and must be added vectorially.

Starting from a generalized expression for momentum

We can take the derivative of both sides of the equation:

And we arrive at another expression for Newton’s Second law. The force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

Thus, when the net force on an object is zero, then the momentum must be constant. This is the famous law of conservation of momentum.

As shown in previous slides, the impulse can be written as:

If the force is constant over a discrete time interval, then it can be taken out of the integral and the impulse is re-written as:

This equation is very useful for modeling collisions, because the force of impact is not usually known (or measurable), but the initial and final velocities are known and/or measurable.

Angular Momentum

Like linear momentum, there is also an expression for angular momentum, which describes how much inertia an object carries in rotating about a coordinate center. While its derivation will be reserved for later in this course, the mathematical expression is given here as:

Path of particle

v

The cross product denotes that the angular momentum points in an entirely different direction from the instantaneous position vector, , and the instantaneous velocity vector . The direction can be found according to the right-hand rule. The O means that the angular momentum is taken with respect to the origin.

(i.e. the cross product of a vector with itself is always zero (i.e. they point in the same direction)

We define this new vector, , which is the rate of change of angular moment, and it is called the moment of force about a pivot. Note: If the net force (or moment in this case) is zero, then it leads directly to the law of conservation of angular momentum.

Momentum according to Isaac AsimovIsaac Asimov wrote in "Understanding Physics": “This tendency for motion (or for rest) to maintain itself steadily unless made to do otherwise by some interfering force can be viewed as a kind of "laziness," a kind of unwillingness to make a change. And indeed, Newton's first law of motion is referred to as the principle of inertia, from a Latin word meaning "idleness" or "laziness."

He added a footnote: "In Aristotle's time the earth was considered a motionless body fixed at the center of the universe; the notion of 'rest' therefore had a literal meaning. What we ordinarily consider 'rest' nowadays is a state of being motionless with respect to the surface of the earth. But we know (and Newton did, too) that the earth itself is in motion about the sun and about its own axis. A body resting on the surface of the earth is therefore not really in a state of rest at all."
