    is the velocity of the Man relative to the Train, v T ∣ E {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} _{T\mid E}} is the velocity of the T rain relative to E arth. Fully legitimate expressions for "the velocity of A relative to B" include "the velocity of A with respect to B" and "the velocity of A in the coordinate system where B is always at rest".

    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...

  6. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    The velocity v of a point or particle is a vector, its length gives the speed. For constant velocity the position at time t will be = +, where x 0 is the position at time t = 0. Velocity is the time derivative of position. Its dimensions are length/time.

  7. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) [1] is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second.

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

    Their resultant is defined as the element of k obtained by replacing in the generic resultant the indeterminate coefficients by the actual coefficients of the . The main property of the resultant is that it is zero if and only if P 1 , … , P n {\displaystyle P_{1},\ldots ,P_{n}} have a nonzero common zero in an algebraically closed extension ...
