6.1 Momentum and Impulse | General Physics

Chad provides a lesson on Linear Momentum and Impulse. He begins by providing the physics definition of Momentum including the momentum formula (p=mv) and providing a practical explanation of momentum. He then provides the physics definition of impulse including the impulse formula (I=Fdt). Finally, Chad explains the connection between impulse and momentum with the Impulse-Momentum Theorem which states that the impulse acting on an object is equal to its change in momentum. This includes how the derivation of the Impulse Momentum Theorem from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. He concludes the lesson by showing how to solve several examples of physics momentum problems, physics impulse problems, and physics Impulse Momentum Theorem practice problems.
