Working mass Working mass Working mass, also referred to as reaction mass, is a mass against which a system operates in order to produce acceleration. In the case of a rocket, for example, the reaction mass is the fuel shot backwards to provide propulsion. All acceleration requires an exchange of momentum, which can be thought of as the "unit of movement". Momentum is related to mass and velocity, as given by the formula "P = mv," where "P" is the momentum, "m" the mass, and "v" the velocity. The velocity of a body is easily changeable, but in most cases the mass
Velocity Moments image, formula_4 is the intensity of the pixel at the point formula_5 in the image, and formula_6 is the basis function. Cartesian velocity moments are based on these Cartesian moments. A Cartesian velocity moment formula_7 is defined by where formula_2 and formula_3 are again the dimensions of the image, formula_11 is the number of images in the sequence, and formula_12 is the intensity of the pixel at the point formula_5 in image formula_14. formula_15 is taken from Central moments, added so the equation is translation invariant, defined as where formula_17 is the formula_18 coordinate of the centre of mass for
