🚀 Adventure 7 — Rocket Launch
Momentum changes lead to force — and when mass and velocity both change, calculus needs the product rule.
🎯 What you will learn
In this adventure you will explore the relationship between mass, velocity, momentum, and force in the context of a simplified 60-minute rocket launch. You will understand that:
- Velocity is slope of distance.
- Acceleration is slope of velocity.
- Momentum: p(t)=m(t)v(t)
- Force: F(t)=p′(t)=m(t)a(t)+v(t)m′(t)
