Online calculators with JavaScript source code by Chris Veness (Creative Commons Attribution license): Vincenty Direct (destination point) Vincenty Inverse (distance between points)

  3. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    It is the speed above which the takeoff will continue even if an engine fails or another problem occurs, such as a blown tire. [9] The speed will vary among aircraft types and varies according to factors such as aircraft weight, runway length, wing flap setting, engine thrust used and runway surface contamination; thus, it must be determined by ...

  4. Orbital state vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_state_vectors

    Orbital position vector, orbital velocity vector, other orbital elements. In astrodynamics and celestial dynamics, the orbital state vectors (sometimes state vectors) of an orbit are Cartesian vectors of position and velocity that together with their time () uniquely determine the trajectory of the orbiting body in space.

  5. List of relativistic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_relativistic_equations

    The following notations are used very often in special relativity: Lorentz factor = where = and v is the relative velocity between two inertial frames.. For two frames at rest, γ = 1, and increases with relative velocity between the two inertial frames.

  6. Velocity-addition formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula

    The special theory of relativity, formulated in 1905 by Albert Einstein, implies that addition of velocities does not behave in accordance with simple vector addition.. In relativistic physics, a velocity-addition formula is an equation that specifies how to combine the velocities of objects in a way that is consistent with the requirement that no object's speed can exceed the speed of light.

  7. Lorentz transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation

    in calculations and experiments, it is lengths between two points or time intervals that are measured or of interest (e.g., the length of a moving vehicle, or time duration it takes to travel from one place to another),

  8. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    For mathematical consistency, Lorentz proposed a new time variable, the "local time", called that because it depended on the position of a moving body, following the relation t ′ = t − vx/c 2. [8] Lorentz considered local time not to be "real"; rather, it represented an ad hoc change of variable. [9]: 51, 80

  9. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    The path of this projectile launched from a height y 0 has a range d.. In physics, a projectile launched with specific initial conditions will have a range.It may be more predictable assuming a flat Earth with a uniform gravity field, and no air resistance.
