Solving Collision Problems Video Tutorial

The Solving Collision Problems Video Tutorial reviews the meaning of momentum conservation, explains in detail what an isolated system is, and then utilizes momentum conservation to solve three example problems. Problems include a hit-and-stick collision, a hit-and-bounce collision, and a perfectly elastic collision in which the colliding objects are moving in opposite directions. The video lesson answers the following questions:

  1. What is meant by the law of conservation of momentum?
  2. How do you use the momentum conservation principle to solve Physics word problems?
