Page "Momentum" Paragraph 43
from
Wikipedia
A change of reference frame can often simplify calculations of motion.
For example, in a collision of two particles a reference frame can be chosen where one particle begins at rest.
Another commonly used reference frame is the center of mass frame, one that is moving with the center of mass.
In this frame, the total momentum is zero.
