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.
