Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers linear momentum in AP Physics C: Mechanics, including its definition (p = mv), vector nature, units (kg⋅m/s), and distinction from kinetic energy. It also explains the relationship between momentum and Newton's Second Law (F = dp/dt).

AP Physics C: Mechanics - Linear Momentum Study Guide 🚀

Hey there, future physicist! Let's get you prepped for the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam with a deep dive into linear momentum. This guide is designed to be your go-to resource, especially the night before the test. Let's make sure you're not just ready, but confident! 💪

1. Linear Momentum: The Basics

What is Linear Momentum?

Linear momentum is essentially a measure of how much "oomph"...

Question 1 of 8

What does linear momentum primarily measure? 🤔

The energy of a moving object

The mass of a stationary object

The rate of change of velocity

The mass in motion of an object
