Velocity quantity, momentum, is a vector and defined by In special relativity, the dimensionless Lorentz factor appears frequently, and is given by where γ is the Lorentz factor and "c" is the speed of light. Escape velocity is the minimum speed a ballistic object needs to escape from a massive body such as Earth. It represents the kinetic energy that, when added to the object's gravitational potential energy, (which is always negative) is equal to zero. The general formula for the escape velocity of an object at a distance "r" from the center of a planet with mass "M" is where
Linear density unit of mass, formula_9, is equal to the product of its linear mass density, formula_10, and the infinitesimal unit of length, formula_11: The linear mass density can then be understood as the derivative of the mass function with respect to the one dimension of the rod (the position along its length formula_13) The SI unit of linear mass density is the kilogram per meter (kg/m). Linear density of fibers and yarns can be measured by many methods. The simplest one is to measure a length of material and weigh it. However, this requires a large sample and masks the variability
