h1. MIT 8.01 Lesson 13: Momentum 

h4. Lesson Summary

{excerpt}The [Momentum and External Force] [model] is introduced.  This [model] has great utility for describing multi-body processes that occur over a finite time interval, particularly nearly-instantaneous collisions.{excerpt}

h4. Learning Objectives

By the end of this Lesson, you should be able to:

* Be able to read and understand the [Momentum and External Force] [model] template.
* Be able to accomplish the learning objectives listed there.
* Define time-averaged force in terms of impulse, or vice-versa.
* Describe the conditions on both the [system] and the [interactions|interaction] which allow the assumption of conservation of [momentum] in analyzing a collision.
