Impulse and Momentum for a System of Particles Proof

The video tutorial explains the impulse and momentum formula for a system of particles, starting with a simple system of three particles. It discusses external and internal forces, including Newton's Third Law, and analyzes the forces acting on individual particles. The tutorial then sums these forces to derive momentum equations, ultimately leading to the final momentum equation for the system. This equation shows that integrating the net external force over time gives the total change in momentum, providing insights into the system's overall motion.
