Momentum is constant¶
If there is no external force applied to system of objects, the summary momentum of this system remains constant during and after any interactions between objects. Summary momentum of the system is the sum of momentums of every object in this system. Also applicable for reactive engine simulation.
Conditions:
The system is closed.
