Conservation of Momentum Derivation and Rocket Demonstration

The video tutorial covers the concept of momentum, its equation, and units. It explains Newton's second law in terms of momentum and introduces the product rule for derivatives. The tutorial discusses the conservation of momentum and demonstrates it using a water rocket. The video concludes with a practical demonstration of how rockets work, emphasizing internal forces and the conservation of momentum.
