In other words, a team can inflate velocity by estimating tasks more conservatively. If a team says that a task will take four hours or is worth 4 points instead of taking two hours or being worth two points, their velocity will look better (sometimes called point inflation). [5] [1]
The event's format changed to where all the top 35 point-earners, the Velocity Tour Champion, the top-three finishers from the Velocity Tour Finals, and the top finishing international invitee competed in the first three rounds. Only the top 30 riders based on total points returned for the fourth round.
[2] [5] As of 2024, winners receive a prize of A$50,000 in cash, a $10,000 donation to their junior club, two million Velocity Points for air travel (valued at approximately $40,000–$80,000 depending on how they are used), and the Alex Jesaulenko Medal. The prizes are sponsored by National Australia Bank and Virgin Australia. [6]
We thought that Virgin might allow its most loyal patrons to exchange frequent flyer points for trips to space, and now it looks like they hope to jump-start the process with a seriously stacked ...
Velocity was launched by Virgin Blue (later renamed Virgin Australia) in 2005 as Velocity Rewards, with partner National Australia Bank offering a companion credit card. [1] Initially, Velocity differed from most other frequent flyer programs with points earned being based on the cost of a flight, rather than distance.
Virgin Australia launched its frequent-flyer program Velocity Rewards in 2005, with partner National Australia Bank offering a companion credit card. By 2007, points collected from selected Westpac, American Express and Diners Club cards could be transferred to Velocity Rewards, and effective September 2008, ANZ reward visa card points as well ...
In November 2007, Skywest joined the then Virgin Blue's loyalty program Velocity Rewards (now called Velocity). Velocity Points can be earned on all Virgin Australia Regional flights, excluding charter flights. Points awarded vary from 0.5 per mile to one per mile, depending on fare class. [27]
If point A has velocity components = (,,) and point B has velocity components = (,,) then the velocity of point A relative to point B is the difference between their components: / = = (,,) Alternatively, this same result could be obtained by computing the time derivative of the relative position vector r B/A .
