Introduction to Conservation of Momentum with Demonstrations

The video introduces the concept of momentum and its conservation in isolated systems. It explains how momentum is a vector quantity and is conserved during collisions and explosions. A demonstration using a skateboard and a medicine ball illustrates these principles. The video also discusses how rockets use momentum conservation for propulsion, comparing it to a hose's spray nozzle. The session concludes with a brief summary and closing remarks.
