Slow Motion Rocket Demonstration (Conservation of Momentum)

The video tutorial demonstrates the principles of a water rocket launch, focusing on momentum conservation. The instructor uses slow-motion footage to explain how internal forces and momentum work in the rocket, drawing parallels to throwing a medicine ball. Personal anecdotes about building rockets in middle school add a nostalgic touch. The video concludes with a final launch and audience reactions.
