Conservation of Linear Momentum

Mr. Anderson explains the conservation of linear momentum, focusing on the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions. He demonstrates how momentum is conserved in all collisions, while kinetic energy is only conserved in elastic collisions. Using simulations, he shows how to verify these principles through experimentation. The video concludes with a review of key concepts and learning outcomes.

Describe the relationship between mass, velocity, and momentum as mentioned in the video.

In the context of the video, where does the energy go during a collision that loses kinetic energy?

What is the significance of the equation p1 + p2 = p1' + p2'?
