Variable-mass system events. The following derivation is for a body that is gaining mass (accretion). A body of time-varying mass "m" moves at a velocity v at an initial time "t". In the same instant, a particle of mass dm moves with velocity u. The initial momentum can be written as Now at a time "t" + d"t", let both the main body and the particle accrete into a body of velocity v + dv. Thus the new momentum of the system can be written as Since d"m"dv is the product of two small values, it can be ignored, meaning during d"t"
Tensor product of modules "R" of "N". Then the tensor product of "M" and "N" over "R" can be defined as the coequalizer: together with the requirements If "S" is a subring of a ring "R", then formula_1 is the quotient group of formula_155 by the subgroup generated by formula_156, where formula_157 is the image of formula_158 under formula_159 In particular, any tensor product of "R"-modules can be constructed, if so desired, as a quotient of a tensor product of abelian groups by imposing the "R"-balanced product property. In the construction of the tensor product over a commutative ring "R", the "R"-module structure can
