This AP Physics 1 study guide covers linear momentum, including its definition as the product of mass and velocity (p=mv). It emphasizes the vector nature of momentum, momentum in collisions and explosions, and the conservation of momentum principle. The guide also distinguishes between elastic and inelastic collisions and provides practice questions covering these concepts.
