Impulse and Momentum

As much as we frequently misuse scientific words in common language, we do have a reasonable grasp of the word momentum. But that's no reason to gloss over this concept, we have to know all the definitions and equations there are! The same goes for the concept of impulse. Check this one out, there are trampolines and baseball.

legit watching this 10 mins before my exam

This was an exceptional video, so big thanks for that. I've studied physics for a good time in highschool, and I thought I was really good at it. Until I got to a CS college and started to study calculus and how it is related to mechanics. Then things got a bit messy and now I am recovering the stuff I thought was self-explanatory at first. I think it was the video I needed to clarify the confusedness in my head. Keep up the great work!

I felt so happy that I got it right after struggling for a few minutes, I have no idea why I always decide to procrastinate when it is actually pretty cool and fun to be doing physics

I'm an engineering student currently taking mechanics and our prof just shove us with formulas to use. It's great to watch videos like these that actually give definitions. Thanks!

this was extremely helpful .. i have a physics test after tmrw and the teacher sucks at explaining

[mcneelynorman]

Great video. I am a physics teacher and I've been looking for ways to get the info across in a better way and I think this video has given me some great ideas.

[julielemus]

You inspired me to study science prof d!

As someone whose mother tongue is not English, this sentence by professor Dave really helped me a lot when I was trying to understand the everyday meaning of the word "momentum" : "The more momentum the ball gathers, the more difficult it will be to bring it to a stop." In my language we say "دوربرداشتن" :)

[bluskyebasta]

Dave the way how you explains physics is absolutely great! Tks to you I'm able to attend all my exams... thank you very much!!!

[ashermak]

the physics Jesus that we didnt know we needed 🙏

[nxstalgia]

If Dave is your first name, is Explains your last name???

dood ily, i have massive add and i generally can gain a great understanding of concepts but i really lack the ability to grind studies for practice. it's crucial that before doing that i have some overall conceptual understanding and purpose of something before filling in details and your videos are BY FAR the best for this type of learning. they're just detailed enough to be relevant and don't overly simplify topics and i love that

[nightowl]

at 3:26 aren't you contradicting what you said few seconds you said if time of impact is large force will be small...than you said if ball is in contact for as long as it can than force will be maximum???? its confusing plz explain this

[mirastudillo]

OMG THANK U!!! You literally just resumed in 5 minutes what I’ve been trying to learn and understand in 2 months! You saved my

[humaidalkaabi]

We need more examples for each equation

cheers, this car braking sound scared the heck out of me. I thought there was a car crashing straight into me.

[kingofbirds]

this comment section is golden, very good dramatic readings

[kajalarora]

This is better than many other videos i saw on impulse momentum

[skeeterburke]

i was just looking at some chemistry stuff, you learn something new every day! reactivity series of metals pnemonic device "please stop calling me a careless zebra, instead try learning how copper saves gold"

[twiggy]

This was a very detailed video, especially regarding the relationship between impulse and momentum. In such a short time too! Nice Job Dave
