Hey what if you had a certain volume of hydrogen gas in two different scenarios. They are of equal amounts. In one scenario, the hydrogen is ignited so that it explodes instantaneously. In the other scenario, the (equal amount of) hydrogen is used in a thrust engine for an extended period of time.
Is the net momentum (F x dt) the same in both situations?
