Hi, Momentum (Classical Physics) Help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the impulse experienced by a 48 g tennis ball swerved due south, using a provided graph. Participants clarify that impulse can be determined by integrating the force over time, which corresponds to the area under the force-time graph. The relationship between momentum and impulse is emphasized, with the equation p = mv being referenced. Confusion arises regarding how to utilize the graph effectively for calculations. Ultimately, understanding the area under the graph is crucial for solving the problem.

Homework Statement



Using the graph below, what is the magnitude of the impulse provided to a 48 g tennis ball that is swerved due south?

Also, What is the velocity of the ball when the racquet and ball separate?

Homework Equations



p=mv (I think).

Fnet x delta Time = P (maybe)?

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm confused as to what am I supposed to do with the graph to get the answers?

Hi Xtremeownage! :smile:

Hint: impulse = ∫ force d(time) :wink:

Come on, be confident, you are right

Fnet x delta Time = delta P

Have you done integration. If not then what tiny tim is saying is impulse = area under force-time graph
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
