Sentence examples for changes in the momentum from inspiring English sources

Detailed shear layer measurements were performed in an attempt to quantify any associated changes in the momentum thickness caused by altering the nozzle exit.

As the walker does not like to make sudden changes in the direction of his consecutive footsteps (as the sharp changes in the momentum of the walker causes discomfort, instability and changes in the walking speed), he prefers to choose the temporary point relatively far from his current location.

Any change in the momentum is governed by Newton's second law, which states that where F is the net force acting on the body.

According to Newton's third law, the particles exert equal and opposite forces on one another, so any change in the momentum of one particle is exactly balanced by an equal and opposite change of the momentum of another particle.

Forces of this nature are known as impulsive forces and, being difficult to measure or estimate, their effects are measured by the change in the momentum (mass times velocity) of the body.

"It's our view that until the Taliban leadership sees a change in the momentum and begins to see that they are not going to win," Mr. Gates said, "the likelihood of significant reconciliation at senior levels is not terribly great".

From Newton's second law it follows that, if a constant force acts on a particle for a given time, the product of force and the time interval (the impulse) is equal to the change in the momentum.

"It's our view that until the Taliban leadership sees a change in the momentum and begins to see that they are not going to win, the likelihood of significant reconciliation at senior levels is not terribly great," Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said last week in India.

"And I think it's our view that until the Taliban leadership sees a change in the momentum and begins to see that they are not going to win, that the likelihood of significant reconciliation at senior levels is not terribly great".

As the rays refract, change in path leads to a change in the momentum carried by the light that is transferred to the interface through conservation.

If a particle reflects or refracts incident laser light (with a Gaussian intensity profile), it will result in a change in the momentum of the light (Fig.  7A).
