chapter 9 Centre of Mass, Linear Momentum and collisions chapter 9
Topics covered:-
1) Get a feel for the concept of Momentum and Collisions - practical example of a ball dropped on the floor and rebounding.
2) Center of Mass : what is it
3) Uniform Mass Density
4) Equation derivation of center of mass for a Uniform Straight Rod
5) Linear Momentum and Conservation of Momentum
6) Collisions types : a) Elastic/perfectly elastic, b) Inelastic
7) Elastic Collision: animation of a ball hitting another ball , storing and release of potential energy
8) Collisions -special cases- a) heavy object hits a very light object, b) light object hits a stationary Heavy object
9) Perfectly Inelastic collisions: animation of ball hitting another ball
10) Partly Elastic and Partly Inelastic Collisions
11) Moving Block colliding with a stationary Spring : animation and explanation
12) Co-efficient of Restitution
13) Elastic collision in more than one dimension: animation :- ball falling into spherical cup
14) Solved Problems
