Let us summarize the ratios. In the left-hand part of the equation, we will get the sum of all internal and external forces. Keeping in mind
that according to Newton’s third law, internal forces are reduced when
added because each action has an equal action and an oppositely directed counteraction:
.
The sum of all external forces in the left-hand part of the equa­tion, represent the net force
, acting upon the whole physical system.
The sum of derivatives in the right-hand part can be replaced with the derivative of the sum. Then,
. (13)
The impulse of the system, consisting of N objects, is called the vector sum of impulses of all objects, which make up the system
In this case, equation (13) can be written as follows:
.
Assume that the system is closed (no external forces are applied) or quasi-closed (the sum of all external forces is zero). Then, we have
.
Therefore,

momentum of a closed system (isolated or quasi-isolated) remains con­stant.
In other words, if objects inside a closed system interact with
each other, then the aggregate momentum of the system before interac­tion equals the aggregate momentum of the system after the interaction.
For example, if as a result of the objects interaction, only the ob­jects velocities change without any alterations in the objects masses, then this law can be written in the following way:
,
viz.
,
are the objects velocities before interaction,
,
are the objects velocities after interaction.
Examples of the law’s effect are shock power, reactive motion.
2.4. Motion of a Body with Variable Mass. Reactive Motion
Variable body mass occurs when some mass leaves the body at a certain velocity (addition of mass to the body on the move is also possi­ble). The separated mass can be, for example, the jet exhaust of a rocket engine. To begin with, let us consider a rocket motion in space, where except for the jet stream force, there are no other forces acting upon the rocket. In this case, it is necessary to regard the mass of the jet stream as a body acting upon the second object – the rocket. The jet exhaust and the rocket make up a closed (isolated) system which complies with the law of momentum conservation.
Let us introduce the following symbols:
and
which are the
rocket and jet exhaust velocities, respectively, in relation to an inertial reference frame;
is the jet stream velocity related to the rocket.
According to the law of velocities addition,

moving with the velocity
. After the time interval dt, the mass dm (the
mass of the jet exhaust) leaves the rocket and moves with the velocity

locity

According to the law of momentum conservation,

Taking into account equations (14), we will rewrite

and divide by dt:
,
viz.
is the rocket mass and the rocket acceleration,
is the
velocity of the jet outflow in relation to the rocket body. The reactive force is expressed in the following way:
If apart from the reactive force, the rocket body is also acted upon by an external force
(e.g. the gravity force), then the rocket mo-
tion equation will be modified:
.

tion is quite complicated. For this reason, we will specify the law, accord­ing to which the rocket velocity accelerates if the rocket engine works continuously, for the particular case when external forces have no effect on the rocket.
Let us return to equation (15) and focus the vector equation on the direction of the rocket motion. Meanwhile, we will take into consid-
eration that the two kinds of velocity
and
are oppositely directed. Moreover, when the rocket mass is decreasing (dm < 0), its velocity is increasing (dv > 0). Then we will get
.
Therefore,
.
Let us take the integral of the equation, keeping in mind that if
the rocket engine is under permanent operation, the jet outflow velocity
is a constant quantity in relation to the rocket body:
.
Having accomplished the velocity integration from 0 to v and the mass integration from m0 to m, we will get the Tsiolkovsky formula (1903):
,
in particular, m0 is the initial rocket mass (including the rocket fuel on board); m is the rocket mass with the velocity v; v is the terminal (maxi­mum) rocket velocity. The formula implies that the higher the jet outflow velocity u, the higher the terminal rocket velocity and, probably, the terminal mass (payload mass) for the given initial rocket mass.

Let us consider a rigid body of an arbitrary geometric form with a free distribution of mass. Then, we will divide the body in our mind into smaller (not necessarily equal) parts and number them. As-
sume that an external force
is applied to a part of the body with the
number i and mass mi and, in addition, internal forces
of the oth-
er parts of the body also act upon the part under consideration. As a result of the net force application to the body part, the motion will comply with Newton’s second law:
,
in particular,
part i from the other body parts;
is the sum total of all internal forces which act upon the
is the part’s mass and acce-
leration. Let us fulfill the aggregation of all the body parts. After the addition, the external forces become mathematically reduced, as any force which acts upon the i element from the j element, in compliance with Newton’s third law, has an equal force with the opposite direction which acts upon the j element from the i element. The sum of all external forces (the net force):
. (16)
Now let us consider a point particle with the radius-vector:
,
specifically, M is the body mass. Let us call the point particle the center of mass and elaborate on the meaning of the term. We will differentiate the latter equation twice with respect to time:

Having compared (16) and (17), we will have that
. (18)
As
is the acceleration of the body’s center-of-mass,
equation (18) implies that the center of mass is moving in compliance
with Newton’s second law, and also the motion is performed as if the
mass was concentrated in the center of mass. Equation (18) represents the law of motion for the center of mass.
Now let us examine a closed (isolated) system of bodies where
(the sum of all external forces equals zero), acceleration is zero
and the center-of-mass velocity remains constant. Consequently, the cen­ter of mass of a closed system will either move rectilinearly or stay at rest irrespective of the way in which separate constituent parts of the system are moving.
This statement is an alternative wording to the law of momentum conservation. Internal forces existing among individual elements in the system might not be equal to zero. On the one hand, they cannot affect the motion of center-of-mass; on the other hand, they influence the mo­tion of individual objects comprised within the system.
It is worth mentioning that instead of the term center-of-mass the terms center-of-inertia and center of gravity are used.
In some particular cases the problem of the center-of-gravity posi­tion determination can be simplified. For instance, if the motion of a solid body with a particular symmetry type is being studied, then it is possible to determine the position of the center of mass without in-depth calculations. There are a few examples: 1) the center of mass of a uniform-density ball coincides with its center; 2) the center of mass of a thin uniform-density bar is located in its center; 3) three point particles with identical masses situated at the vertexes of a hard equilateral triangle have the center of mass at the intersection point of bisecting lines, which divide the internal angles of the triangle into two equal angles; etc.

determining the center of gravity for a particular object can be sim­plified in cases when all three ra­dius-vector projections
are
worked out separately.
As an example, let us ex-
amine two spheres with the masses
m1 and m2, placed at a fixed distance l from each other, and find the center of
mass of this system (Fig. 7). Each sphere can be considered as a point par­ticle with the mass located in its center.
Then, we will draw the axis of abscises along the straight line crossing the center of the spheres, and the central point of coordinates – at a distance a away from the left sphere. So, the center-of-mass coordinate X can be written as follows:
.
If the central point of the coordinates is placed in the center of the first sphere (а = 0), then the equation for Xc will have a simpler form:
.

In the specific case, when m1 = m2, Хс = l/2, i.e. the spheres are absolutely identical, the center of mass will be located in the point direct­ly in the middle between the two balls.

3.1. Work and Power
Let us assume that an object acted upon by force F, travels over a short distance dl, moving along a trajectory (Fig. 8). The force action F over the distance dl is characterized by a quantity called work.
Work is a scalar quantity equal to the scalar product of force by displacement dl:
viz. is the angle between the direction of force and displacement;
is the projection of force onto the direction of displacement;
is the projection of displacement on the force direction.
The total work along the entire distance in a general case of vari­able force equals
Represented graphically, the work of force numerically equals the area (the crosshatched area in Fig. 9), specifically, the force projec­tion is given along the axis of ordinates:
