Recoil being another term for mass. That force, applied to a mass, creates an acceleration, which when applied over time, changes the velocity of a mass. According to Newton's second law, the law of momentum -- changing the velocity of the mass changes its momentum, (mass multiplied by velocity). It is important to understand at this point that velocity is not simply speed. Velocity is the speed of a mass in a particular direction. In a very technical sense, speed is a scalar (mathematics), a magnitude, and velocity is a vector (physics), magnitude and direction. Newton's third law, known as conservation
Velocity Moments image formula_14, and similarly for formula_20. formula_21 introduces velocity into the equation as where formula_23 is the formula_18 coordinate of the centre of mass for the previous image, formula_25, and again similarly for formula_20. After the Cartesian velocity moment is calculated, it can be normalised by where formula_28 is the average area of the object, in pixels, and formula_29 is the number of images. Now the value is not affected by the number of images in the sequence or the size of the object. As Cartesian moments are non-orthogonal, so are Cartesian velocity moments, so different moments can be closely
