Mechanics #1 Free Response Question Solutions - AP Physics C 1998 Released Exam

The video tutorial covers a mechanics free response question from the AP Physics C 1998 exam. It begins with an introduction to the problem involving two gliders on a frictionless surface. The tutorial then calculates the average speed of glider A over different time intervals and draws its velocity graph. It explains the conservation of momentum to determine the velocity of glider B after a collision. Finally, it discusses the elastic nature of the collision and the conservation of energy, highlighting the role of kinetic and potential energy during the event.
