Momentum is defined and the concepts of impulse, conservation of momentum, explosions, and collisions in one dimension are explained. Conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of two objects in a collision is constant. Explosions are discussed, noting that the vector sums of particles from an explosion will add up to the original object's internal impulse. Collisions are described as either elastic, where no kinetic energy is lost, or inelastic, where some kinetic energy converts to other forms of energy.
