| Apr 21, 2021 at 22:16 | comment | added | jambajuice | Yes, but do i consider a change in momentum $dm$$u_0$ or do I model it as one big chunk of fuel $M$ ? | |
| Apr 21, 2021 at 22:15 | comment | added | Eric Smith | If rocket B collects all of the fuel from rocket A, then its change in momentum is equal to the momentum of that fuel. That should tell you everything you need to know about how rocket B moves. | |
