What do you remember from Physics 53?;Review;Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation;Question;The Universal Gravitational Constant G;Questions;Question;Momentum;By momentum we mean inertia in motion. More specifically momentum is defined as the product of the mass of an object and its velocity, that is: momentum = mass x velocity When direction is not important momentum = mass x speed.;Impulse;Assume that your friend jumps from the roof of the garage and lands on the ground. How will the impulses the ground exerts on your friend compare if the landing is on grass or on concrete?;Conservation of Momentum;Questions;How does the padding (or air pockets) in the soles of running shoes reduce the forces on your legs? Explain your answer in terms of impulse and momentum. Two identical objects moving at the same speed collide head-on. If the two objects stick together after the collision, will they move to the right, left not at all?;An astronaut training at the Craters of the Moon in Idaho jumps off platform in full space gear and hits the surface at 5 m/s. If later, on the Moon, the astronaut jumps from the landing vehicle and hits the surface at the same speed, will the impulse be larger, smaller, or the same as that on Earth? Why? An object of mass m and an object of mass 3m, both moving at the same speed, collide head-on. If the two objects stick together after the collision, will they be moving to the left, to the right or not at all?;Some times a star “dies” in an enormous explosion know as a supernova. What happens to the total momentum of such a star?;Work;Conceptual Question;Important: Definition of work involves both a force and a distance.;Units of Work;Power;Units of Power;Mechanical Energy;Conservation of Kinetic Energy;Question;Important: The change in potential energy between any two points does not depend on the choice of reference level. Important: The changes in gravitational potential energy depend only on the change in vertical height and not on the pat
