-
the velocity of the rocket at any instant,
-
if you knew the mass at that instant.
-
The rocket will pick up speed and its mass will keep going down,
-
and the log of the mass before to the mass after
-
times v0 is the change in the velocity of the rocket.
-
Okay, so I have to give you some more ammunition
-
to do your homework problems;
-
so, I'm going to discuss the last and final topic,
-
which is the subject of collisions.
-
So, we're going to take the collision of two bodies,
-
one body, another body, m1, v1, m2, v2,
-
they collide.
