Momentum
conservation
is a consequence of:
\(\vec{F}_\text{net}=m\,\vec{a}\)
and
actio = reactio
Formula:
\(\vec{P}_\text{initial}=\vec{P}_\text{final}\)
Prose:
Regardless what happens in a closed box between
initial
and
final
, the sum of all momenta in the box equals a constant. Three equations which allow us to relate
states in motion
without having to know the time dependence of the velocities, accelerations, and/or positions.
\(\vec{P}=\vec{\text{function}}(m_1,m_2,\ldots,\vec{v}_1,\vec{v}_2,\ldots)\)
not
of time!
and
not
of location. Hence, we
cannot
use the equations to deduce any information about the position of masses!
The function which does that:
\(E=\text{function}(m_1,m_2,\ldots,\vec{v}_1,\vec{v}_2,\ldots,\vec{r}_1,\vec{r}_2,\ldots)\)
is the
energy
.
the energy function is a
number
, i.e., the conservation law is a single equation: \(E_\text{initial}=E_\text{final}\)
regardless of what changes nature undergoes inside an insulated box, this number E exists and does never change from the moment we "filled" the box.
--- ##So what is this mysterious function?
Let us classify:
energy of motion:
kinetic
energy:
\(T(\vec{v}\text{elocities})\)
energy at a location
relative
to something:
potential
energy:
\(U(\vec{r},\vec{v})\)
A pendulum swinging in an evacuated and insulated box close to the earth's surface.
\(\vec{v}=0\) at the turning/highest points → \(T=0\)
maximal speed for \(\theta=0\) → \(U=\text{max}\)
⇓
force transfers energy
\(\begin{pmatrix}\Delta\text{Energy}_{T\leftrightarrow U} \text{when}\\\text{moved over distance}\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}\text{force at each point}\\\text{over the distance}\end{pmatrix}\times \begin{pmatrix}\text{distance}\end{pmatrix}\)

Conjecture:
\(T=\frac{1}{2}m\vec{v}^2\)
and using \(\vec{F}=m\vec{a}\) we obtain \(\frac{dT}{dt}=\vec{F}\cdot\vec{v}\)
Now
You
can show:
for a mass \(m\) falling freely vertically:
\(\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgy=\text{const.}\)
for a mass \(m\) compressing a spring \(\kappa\) horizontally:
\(\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}\kappa x^2=\text{const.}\)

The classical work-energy relation:
\[ T_\text{f(inal)}-T_\text{i(nitial)}=\int_i^f\vec{F}_\text{total}\cdot d\vec{s} \]
\[ \Downarrow \]
\[ T_\text{i}+\color{dodgerblue}{U_\text{i}^\text{grav}}+\color{dodgerblue}{U_\text{i}^\text{Hooke}}=T_\text{f}+\color{dodgerblue}{U_\text{f}^\text{grav}}+\color{dodgerblue}{U_\text{f}^\text{Hooke}}+\int_i^f\vec{F}_\text{external}\cdot d\vec{s} \]
where we
defined
the
potentials
as the change in energy induced
solely
by the respective force: \begin{align} \Delta E_\text{grav}&=&W\text{(ork)}_\text{grav}\quad\stackrel{\text{1-dim}}{=}&\quad\int_{y_i}^{y_f}(mg)dy=mg(y_f-y_i)=:\color{dodgerblue}{U^\text{grav}(y_f)}-\color{dodgerblue}{U^\text{grav}(y_i)}\\ \Delta E_\text{Hooke}&=&W\text{(ork)}_\text{Hooke}\quad\stackrel{\text{1-dim}}{=}&\quad\int_{x_i}^{x_f}(\kappa x)dx=\frac{\kappa}{2}(x_f^2-x_i^2)=:\color{dodgerblue}{U^\text{Hooke}(x_f)}-\color{dodgerblue}{U^\text{Hooke}(x_i)}\\ \end{align}
