Derivations are a very important part of learning. The linear momentum principle is a lot easier to understand after someone knows how all the equations connect in physics.
The Main Idea
The main idea of this page is to demonstrate how the some of the different equations in physics are derived from one momentum principle.
A Mathematical Model
[math]\displaystyle{ {\DELTA(t){d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
A Computational Model
