This lecture covers the concept of center of mass in dynamics, focusing on how external forces affect the motion of an object. Through examples like collisions between chariots on a horizontal rail, the instructor explains how internal forces do not contribute to changing an object's momentum. The lecture also delves into the conservation of momentum during and after collisions, emphasizing the role of external forces in altering an object's motion.
