This lecture discusses mechanics and covers topics such as Newton's laws of motion, momentum, impulse, and collisions. Newton's laws state that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, and impulse is defined as the change in momentum. Collisions can be elastic or inelastic depending on whether kinetic energy is conserved.
