Momentum

2 subtopics≈ 65 min in total
  1. Momentum and its conservation

    Momentum is mass times velocity, and in any collision the total stays the same. One equation, "momentum before == momentum after", solves the whole topic.

  2. Directions, rebounds and several collisions

    Head-on collisions and rebounds are where signs matter. Fix a positive direction, give every velocity a sign, and let the algebra tell you which way things end up moving.
