One way to make complex math problems easier to understand is to relate them to everyday things. This can make the process of solving math problems more fun as well as more understandable. The mathematical explanation of impulse and momentum can be explained with the help of a scenario involving balls used to play pool.
If a 0.2 kilogram red cue ball rolling at 1.4 m/s elastically collides directly with a 0.2 kilogram 9 ball at rest the red cue ball can be expected to have a velocity of 0 m/s. Visualizing the balls helps make the problem much easier to understand.
