Center of mass of a system of variable mass particles
Abstract We study the dynamics of the center of mass (CM) of a set of particles when the number of particles in the system varies during a short interval of time, or when the value of the mass of one of the particles depends on time. We show that in both situations, while the population or mass of t...
