Action Reaction And Momentum Conservation Guide

“The rotor is stuck. But if we blow the hatch, the rotor’s outer casing will shear. One half will eject out the port side. The other half will stay with us.”

“We need a second push,” she said. “Conservation of momentum requires that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant. We’re the system. We have to throw something else.” action reaction and momentum conservation

On the command deck, the trajectory plot updated. The ship’s vector line bent away from the red swarm. It was working. “The rotor is stuck
