Impulse and Momentum of a Baseball

This video is a very quick summation of impulse and momentum. It talks about the equation for impulse, which is the force times the time, and it also tells us that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. The one thing that this video talked about that was different from what we learned in class is that the change is moment is equal to the mass times the change in velocity. In class we learned that the change in moment is equal to the final momentum times the initial momentum. Though these two things equal the same thing, it might be easier to stick to the one we learned in class. Other than that, this video is a really good short explanation and summary of impulse and momentum and how they relate to each other.
