Key Concepts Covered
➡️ Momentum – The quantity of motion an object has, calculated by mass times velocity, essential for understanding interactions during collisions
➡️ Elastic collision – A type of collision where objects bounce off with no kinetic energy lost, important for physics foundations
➡️ Inelastic collision – Collisions where objects stick together or deform, leading to energy loss and real-world examples
➡️ Kinetic energy – The energy that objects possess due to motion, which can be conserved or transferred during collisions
➡️ Forces during collisions – Action-reaction pairs that help explain how object interactions occur and their effects
