... In figures (a) and (b) we show the rocket at times t and t dt. If we assume that there are no external forces acting on the rocket, linear momentum is conserved p (t ) p t dt Mv UdM M dM v dv (eq. 1). Here dM is a negative number because the rocket's mass decreases with t ...

1 EXPERIMENT 5 CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM
... Linear momentum is a vector quantity because it equals the product of a scalar quantity m and a vector quantity v. Its direction is along v, it has dimensions ML/T, and its SI unit is kg · m/s. Using Newton’s second law of motion, we can relate the linear momentum of a particle to the resultant forc ...
