Mass is constant ================ The mass is constant in a system that is closed, and mass is not transformed to energy. **Conditions:** #. System in a closed impenetrable volume, that is, molecules/atoms cannot leave it and they are always inside. #. Mass is not transformed to energy, for example due to annihilation. **Note:** #. SymPy does not have a proper way to represent constant mass. We use it's derivative over time instead. Derivative of the constant value is zero. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.conservation.mass_is_constant .. py:data:: time :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.time`.
