Momentum and Impulse in General Physics - Lesson 6.1

Explore the fundamental concepts of linear momentum and impulse in this comprehensive physics lesson. Begin with the definition and formula for momentum (p=mv), followed by a practical explanation of its significance. Delve into the physics of impulse, including its definition and formula (I=Fdt). Discover the connection between impulse and momentum through the Impulse-Momentum Theorem, which states that the impulse acting on an object equals its change in momentum. Learn how this theorem is derived from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. Apply your knowledge by solving various physics problems related to momentum, impulse, and the Impulse-Momentum Theorem, including examples with changing directions and time calculations. Gain a solid understanding of these essential physics concepts through clear explanations and practical problem-solving techniques.
