You Can't Run From Momentum! (a momentum introduction)

The video tutorial explores the concept of momentum, starting with the origin of using the letter P for momentum, which is derived from Latin. It explains momentum as a product of mass and velocity, highlighting its vector nature with magnitude and direction. The tutorial clarifies the use of symbols for power, momentum, and density, distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase letters. It further explains the SI units for momentum, comparing it with Newtons, and concludes with a discussion on achieving zero momentum by having zero velocity.
