On the other hand, E-beam sterilization can be harmful to products containing batteries or electronic components. It can also degrade rubber and polypropylene, but these materials now come in grades that are E-beam compatible, Wilson notes.
A trajectory is the path of an object through space, or the path of life that a person chooses. The prefix tra- is short for trans-, which means across (think transport and transit) and the ject comes from jacere, which means throw and is also the root of the word jet.
Velocity Definition. Velocity is defined as a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion or, in other terms, the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object. The scalar (absolute value) magnitude of the velocity vector is the speed of the motion. In calculus terms, velocity is the first derivative of position with respect to time. How Is Velocity Calculated? The most common way to calculate the constant velocity of an object moving in a straight line is with the formula:
