This study guide covers momentum in AP Physics 1, focusing on open vs. closed systems and how momentum is conserved. It explains internal and external forces and their impact on a system's momentum. It also provides the momentum formula (p=mv) and example calculations. Finally, it offers exam tips, common pitfalls, practice questions (multiple-choice and free-response), and scoring breakdowns to prepare students for the AP exam.
