Mass is constant

The mass is constant in a system that is closed, and mass is not transformed to energy.

Conditions:

  1. System in a closed impenetrable volume, that is, molecules/atoms cannot leave it and they are always inside.

  2. Mass is not transformed to energy, for example due to annihilation.

Note:

  1. 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.
