m1v1 = m2v2
v = rω
m1(rω)1 = m2(rω)2
m1ω1 = m2ω2
Does this make sense?
v = rω
m1(rω)1 = m2(rω)2
m1ω1 = m2ω2
Does this make sense?

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the application of angular velocity in the linear momentum equation, specifically in the context of Newton's Cradle. The equations m1v1 = m2v2 and m1ω1 = m2ω2 are highlighted to illustrate the conservation of momentum during collisions in the system. Participants confirm that the equations are valid for analyzing momentum transfer in Newton's Cradle, where the pendulum's motion facilitates the transfer of momentum between balls.
