Energy, Momentum and Linear Algebra - Wild Linear Algebra B

Explore the intersection of physics and linear algebra in this 46-minute lecture on energy and momentum conservation. Delve into elementary mechanics using a one-dimensional scenario while leveraging a two-dimensional space-time framework to interpret elastic collisions geometrically. Discover the elegant butterfly collision diagram, which provides a visual representation of particle interactions with varying masses and speeds. Gain practical insights through practice exercises and deepen your understanding of fundamental concepts in mechanics and linear algebra.
