AP Physics C: Momentum, Impulse, Collisions and Center of Mass Review (Mechanics)

The video covers key concepts in AP Physics C Mechanics, focusing on momentum, impulse, and center of mass. It explains momentum as mass times velocity, discusses Newton's second law in terms of momentum, and explores the conditions for conservation of momentum. The impulse-momentum theorem is derived, and the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions are highlighted. The video also explains how to calculate the center of mass for systems of particles and rigid objects, including the use of density equations.
