Learn about momentum and energy in this calculus-based physics course. This course is the second of a series of modules that cover calculus-based mechanics. You will learn about the concepts of momentum, impulse, energy, and work, as well as the powerful idea of conservation laws.

You will apply these concepts as powerful techniques to solve interesting mechanics problems such as collisions and rockets.

The modules are based on material in MIT's Physics I, which is required for all MIT undergraduates, and is being offered as an XSeries on edX.

To understand the material in this course you should have taken Mechanics: Kinematics and Dynamics.

What you'll learn:

- Momentum and Impulse

- Continuous Mass Flow

- Work and Kinetic Energy

- Potential Energy and Mechanical Energy

- Collisions
