➡️ Linear momentum – The measure of an object’s motion, calculated as mass times velocity.
➡️ Conservation of momentum – The principle that total momentum remains constant in isolated systems.
➡️ Types of collisions – Elastic collisions where kinetic energy is conserved, and inelastic collisions where it is not.
➡️ Force and impulse – How external forces influence momentum change over time.
➡️ Impact and energy transfer – The effects of collisions on objects' motion and energy transfer mechanisms.
