This AP Physics 1 study guide covers momentum and impulse. It defines momentum, change in momentum (impulse), and the impulse-momentum theorem. It explains the conservation of momentum principle and its application to two-object systems, including elastic and inelastic collisions. The guide provides example problems involving collisions and explosions, and offers tips for interpreting scenarios with multiple forces. Finally, it highlights high-priority topics for the AP exam and includes practice questions with a scoring rubric.
