Physlets: Mechanics Problems: Newton's Laws - Momentary Push accompanies Physlets: Mechanics Problems: Newton's Laws - Sustained Push
relation created by Caroline Hall

A companion physlet-based problem.  A satellite traveling at constant velocity is given a sustained push produced by rocket thrust.  How does the resulting motion differ when this type of force is applied?


Physlets: Mechanics Problems: Newton's Laws - Momentary Push is part of Physlets Chapter 8: Mechanics, Waves and Thermodynamics Physlet-Based Curriculum
