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
Four-velocity the 3d position vector, written as a column vector The components of the velocity formula_2 (tangent to the curve) at any point on the world line are Each component is simply written In Einstein's theory of relativity, the path of an object moving relative to a particular frame of reference is defined by four coordinate functions "x"("τ"), where μ is a spacetime index which takes the value 0 for the timelike component, and 1, 2, 3 for the spacelike coordinates. The zeroth component is defined as the time coordinate multiplied by "c", Each function depends on one parameter "τ" called
