momentum. 2. Object B has the larger change in
momentum. 3. Both objects have the same change in
momentum 4. Not enough information is given to
decide.

Internal Force on a System of Particles is Zero
The internal force on the ith particle is sum of the internal interaction forces with all the other particles The sum of the internal forces on each particle in the system is Newton’s Third Law: internal forces cancel in pairs So the sum of the internal forces on the system is zero

Newton’s Second and Third Laws for System of Particles
Newton’s Third Law: The force on a system of particles is the external force because internal forces cancel in pairs
Newton’s Second Law: The total external force is equal to the rate of change of the momentum of the system

Conservation of Momentum
For a fixed choice of system, if there are no external forces acting on the system then the momentum of the system is constant is constant. This is a vector equation (a separate equation for each direction).
Fext =
0 ⇒Δpsys =
0⇒ psys, f =
psys,i
Strategy: Momentum of a System 1. Choose system 2. Identify initial and final states 3. Identify any external forces in order to determine whether any
component of the momentum of the system is constant or not i) If there is a non-zero total external force:
ii) If the total external force is zero then momentum is constant iii) If the collision time is approximately zero,
Fext = dpsys / dt

Group Problem: Landing Plane and Sandbag
A light plane of mass m1 makes an emergency landing on a short runway. With its engine off, it lands on the runway at a speed of vi. A hook on the plane snags a cable attached to a sandbag of mass m2 and drags the sandbag along. If the coefficient of friction between the sandbag and the runway is µ, and if the plane’s brakes give an additional retarding force of magnitude F, how far does the plane go before it comes to a stop?

Group Problem: Center of Mass of Rod and Particle Rod Collision
A slender uniform rod of length d and mass m rests along the x-axis on a frictionless, horizontal table. A particle of equal mass m is moving along the x-axis at a speed v0.

The figure on the right shows an overhead view of the rod lying on the table.

Group Problem: Center of Mass Motion of Exploding Projectile
An instrument-carrying projectile of mass m1 accidentally explodes at the top of its trajectory. The horizontal distance between launch point and the explosion is x0. The projectile breaks into two pieces which fly apart horizontally. The larger piece, m3, has three times the mass of the smaller piece, m2. To the surprise of the scientist in charge, the smaller piece returns to earth at the launching station. a) How far has the center of mass of the system traveled from the
launch when the pieces hit the ground? b) How far from the launch point has the larger piece traveled when
it first hits the ground? 27
