Topics
• Center of mass
• Newton’s 2nd law for a system of particles
• Linear momentum, 2nd law in terms of P
• Conservation of P
Center of massThe center of a body or a system of bodies is the point thatmoves as though all of the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied there.
Center of MassWhy is it important? For any rigid body the motion of the body is given by the motion of the cm and the motion of the body around the cm.
As an example find the center of mass of the following system
xm M.xcm
d
m xcm = M (d-xcm) xcm = M/(m + M) d
Problem 9.3
2 dimensions
Find xcm and ycm
xcm M = m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3ycm M = m1 y1 + m2 y2 + m3 y3
xcm 15 = 3*0 + 4*2 + 8*1
xcm = 16/15 = 1.1 m
ycm 15 = 3*0 +4*1 + 8*2
ycm = 20/15 = 1.33 m
.
If the 8 kg mass increases, how does the cm change?
xcm =(m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3)/(m1+m2+m3)
When m3 gets very large, suppose we neglect the other masses.
xcm ~(m3 x3)/(m3) ~ x3
The center of mass moves towards the large object as it should

Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum
If Fnet = 0 on a closed system where no mass enters or leaves the system, then dP/dt = 0 or P = constant.
Pi = Pf for a closed isolated system
Also each component of the momentum Px,Py,Pz is also constant since Fx, Fy, and Fz all = 0
If one component of the net force is not 0, then that component of momentum is not a constant. For example, consider the motion of a horizontally fired projectile. The y component of P changes while the horizontal component is fixed after the bullet is fired.
Air track examples
Two carts connected by a spring. Set them into oscillation by pulling them apart and releasing them from rest. Note cm does not move.
Now repeat with spring between two carts. Analogous to exploding mass.
Again observers in two different inertial reference frames will measure different values of momentum, but both will agree that momentum is conserved.
Note if the net force vanishes in one inertial frame it will vanish in all inertial frames

Change in momentum of ball on left or right.
Andy Rodick has been clocked at serving a tennis ball up to 149 mph(70 m/s).The time that the ball is in contact with the racquet is about 4 ms. The mass of a tennis ball as is about 300 grams.
Favg = J/t = p/ t
p =70( 0.3) - 0 = 21 kg-m/s
Favg = 21/0.004 = 5000 Newtons
What is the acceleration of the ball?
a = Favg /m = 5000N/0.3 kg = 16,667 m/s2
What is the average force exerted by the racquet on the ball?
What distance the racquet go through while the ball is still in contact?

i =2axx = V2
f /2a = (70)2/2(16667) = 0.15 m

Conservation of MomentumIn a closed isolated system containing a collision, the linear momentum of each colliding body may change but the total linear momentum P of the system can not change, whether the collision is elastic or inelastic.
Fnet = 0, dP/dt = 0, Hence, P = constant .
Each x,y, and z component of the momentum is a constant.
