- 5.1: Four Questions
- Answering the four basic questions needed to develop an accurate accounting equation for the linear momentum of a system: What is linear momentum? How can it be stored in a system? How can it be transported? How can it be created or destroyed?
- 5.2: Conservation of Linear Momentum Equation
- Applying the equation for conservation of linear momentum to open, closed, and steady-state systems. Includes multiple worked examples.

- Calculating friction forces in a system based on the dry and fluid friction models.
- 5.4: Linear Impulse, Linear Momentum, and Impulsive Forces
- Deriving the impact calculations for linear impulse and impulsive forces from the basic principle of conservation of linear momentum.
- 5.5: Linear Momentum Revisited
- Using relative velocities to solve problems using conservation of linear momentum. Using cylindrical coordinates to describe plane curvilinear motion, for problems using conservation of linear momentum. Includes worked examples.
