2.X.2 Two external forces <40, -70, 0>N and <20, 10, 0>N, act
on a system. What is the net force on the system?
Definition of Impulse
Impulse
The time interval t must be small enough that the net force is
nearly constant during this time interval
Separation of Components:
Very useful in solving
pfx = pix + Fnet,x t problems!
For example, x components of
pfy = piy + Fnet,y t an objects momentum cannot
be affected by forces in the y
or z directions.
pfz = piz + Fnet,z t

2.3 Applying the Momentum Principle
Question: Using the Momentum Principle, what can we conclude
about the relative magnitudes of the force on the cart by the Earth
and the force on the cart by the track?
Solution: A fan cart on a track
System: the fan cart
Surroundings: Earth, the track and the air
The free-body diagram:
Momentum Principle:
= 0
2.3 Applying the Momentum Principle
Example: A fan cart: 1D, several forces, constant net force
Suppose that you have a fan cart whose mass is 0.5 kg,
and with the fan turned on, the force acting on the cart
due to the air and friction with the track is <0.2, 0, 0> N
and constant. You give the cart a shove, and you release
the cart at position <0.5, 0, 0> m with initial velocity
<0.3, 0, 0> m/s.
f = i + net t
<0.964c,0,0> m/s.

2.3 Applying the Momentum Principle
Position update relation f = i + avg

vavg,x is an approximation for vavg,x =

Example:
If you drive 50 mi/hr in the +x direction for four hours, and then 20
mi/hr in the +x direction for an hour, how far have you traveled?
2.4 Momentum Change With Changing Force
In real-world situations, forces due to interactions with the
surroundings may be not constant it is common for both
the direction and magnitude of forces to change

2.X.22 Explain why the quantity yf yi has a negative value
(-56 m) in the preceding example. Also explain why there is a
negative sign associated with the quantity (-9.8 N/kg . 5kg),
when g = +9.8 N/kg is a positive constant.
Solution:
System: Ball
Surroundings: Earth
Approximation: Neglect air resistance
Initial time: The instant your foot is no longer touching the ball
