Recall that for oblique impact problems, it is recommended that you use three FBDs: A alone, B alone and A+B together. A+B together allows us to make the impact force internal (and not appear in the ...
Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. Segment 4A: Momentum and Impulse We define the terms momentum and impulse. We see the impulse-momentum theorem in action by ...
It is recommended that you work with the system made up of A and B together. With such a system, you can avoid dealing with the internal spring force when using the linear impulse-momentum equation.
