  2. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Velocity is a physical vector quantity: both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. The scalar absolute value of velocity is called speed, being a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in the SI (metric system) as metres per second (m/s or m⋅s −1). For example, "5 metres per second" is a scalar, whereas "5 metres per ...

  3. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    It is the product of two quantities, the particle's mass (represented by the letter m) and its velocity (v): [1] =. The unit of momentum is the product of the units of mass and velocity. In SI units, if the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s).

  4. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    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".

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Equation [3] involves the average velocity ⁠ v + v 0 / 2 ⁠. Intuitively, the velocity increases linearly, so the average velocity multiplied by time is the distance traveled while increasing the velocity from v 0 to v, as can be illustrated graphically by plotting velocity against time as a straight line graph. Algebraically, it follows ...

  6. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    Einstein Triangle. The energy–momentum relation is consistent with the familiar mass–energy relation in both its interpretations: E = mc 2 relates total energy E to the (total) relativistic mass m (alternatively denoted m rel or m tot), while E 0 = m 0 c 2 relates rest energy E 0 to (invariant) rest mass m 0.

  7. Absolute angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_angular_momentum

    M represents absolute angular momentum per unit mass of the fluid parcel (in ⁠ m 2 / s ⁠), r represents distance from the center of the Earth to the fluid parcel (in m), u represents earth-relative eastward component of velocity of the fluid parcel (in ⁠ m / s ⁠), φ represents latitude (in rad), and

  8. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    m is the mass of the object, v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum. In the International System of Units, these are kg⋅m/s = N⋅s.

  9. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    Velocity of the particle m with respect to the origin O can be resolved into components parallel to (v ∥) and perpendicular to (v ⊥) the radius vector r. The angular momentum of m is proportional to the perpendicular component v ⊥ of the velocity, or equivalently, to the perpendicular distance r ⊥ from the origin.
