| THRUST EQUATION | ||
Now take into account the change in mass (from using up the fuel) that occurs per unit in time. You'll end up with: Fmom = (Δm Δv)/Δt = Δ(mv)/Δt Since mass times velocity equals momentum, the equation can now be expressed in words as: Force (thrust) equals the rate of change of momentum.
