Center of mass velocity refers to the velocity of an object's center of mass, which represents its average motion.
Linear Momentum: Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing its motion in a straight line.
Impulse: Impulse is the change in momentum experienced by an object when acted upon by a force for some time interval.
Conservation Laws (e.g., Law of Conservation of Momentum): These laws state that certain properties (like momentum) remain constant before and after interactions between objects occur.
