Impulse and Momentum Principle
- Impulse: During collisions, the change in an object's velocity depends on the force and time the objects are in contact
- Impulse has the units of N*S and is a vector
- Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (kg * m/s
-We will be primarily using this formula in the word problem
Badminton
- Racket sport played by 2 opposing teams
- Objective of the game is to win points up to 21 by succesfully hitting the birdie over the net into the opponents court
Impulse and Momentum in Badminton
Answer
Measurements/Data
- Birdie's mass: 4.91g (0.00491 kg)
- Total time taken for collision of racket and birdie (0.13s)
- Initial velocity (before birdie was hit) 4.20 m/s
- Final velocity (right after birdie was hit; highest point) 43.15 m/s
- Data tracked by using the tracker
- Find the Force?
