The Momentum Principle has many different equations. The easiest way to learn these is not memorize each of them, but rather understand all the derivations involved with it. All of physics connect, but learning how they connect is more important than learning all the different equations.
The Main Idea
The main idea of the momentum principle is that [math]\displaystyle{ ===A Mathematical Model=== What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example \lt math\gt {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
