Change of Momentum, Impulse, Rockets

Change of Momentum, Impulse, Rockets: The momentum of individual objects can change in a variety of ways. Professor Lewin covers a number of topics in this lecture, including impulse and thrust. An analogy is drawn between the force felt by the target of a tomato thrower, the reaction force felt by the thrower, and the propulsion (thrust) of a rocket.
