Momentum and Impulse
Discover the concept of momentum and impulse, explore the vector nature of momentum, learn about conservation of momentum, analyze collisions and impulse through sports examples and car safety measures.
Topics explored include momentum, a revisitation of Newton's second law in terms of momentum, conservation of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions and impulse.
