h2. Description and Assumptions
{excerpt:hidden=true}System: Any. Interactions: Any.{excerpt}
This model is [generally applicable|generally applicable model] (assuming knowledge of the external forces and system constituents).
h2. Problem Cues
This model is especially useful when describing the momentum of systems where external forces are absent (system momentum will be constant) or estimating the force in a process that occurs in a very short time interval as in collisions (impulse will be easier to determine than force).

h2. System
The system must be effectively composed of [point particles|point particle], though rigid bodies may be treated as point particles with positions specified by the center of mass positions of the rigid body when this model is used.
----
h2. Interactions
Only [external forces|external force] need be considered, since [internal forces|internal force] do not change the system's momentum.
