🔍 Key Concepts Covered
➡️ Conservation of momentum – The principle that total momentum remains constant in a closed system during collisions
➡️ Elastic collisions – Collisions where kinetic energy and momentum are conserved, with objects bouncing off without deformation
➡️ Inelastic collisions – Collisions where some energy is transformed into heat, sound, or deformation, and objects may stick together
➡️ Collision analysis techniques – Methods such as vector decomposition to resolve velocities in multiple dimensions
➡️ Energy transfer in collisions – How kinetic energy changes during different collision types and the implications for real-world applications
