Base unit (measurement) aspects of the world, such as time, distance, velocity, mass, temperature, energy, and weight, and "units" are used to describe their magnitude or quantity. Many of these quantities are related to each other by various physical laws, and as a result the units of a quantities can be generally be expressed as a product of powers of other units; for example, momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, while velocity is measured in distance divided by time. These relationships are discussed in dimensional analysis. Those that can be expressed in this fashion in terms of the base units are called .
Four-velocity the 3d position vector, written as a column vector The components of the velocity formula_2 (tangent to the curve) at any point on the world line are Each component is simply written In Einstein's theory of relativity, the path of an object moving relative to a particular frame of reference is defined by four coordinate functions "x"("τ"), where μ is a spacetime index which takes the value 0 for the timelike component, and 1, 2, 3 for the spacelike coordinates. The zeroth component is defined as the time coordinate multiplied by "c", Each function depends on one parameter "τ" called
