Velocity the angular speed formula_27 and the magnitude of the displacement. such that Angular momentum in scalar form is the mass times the distance to the origin times the transverse velocity, or equivalently, the mass times the distance squared times the angular speed. The sign convention for angular momentum is the same as that for angular velocity. where The expression formula_33 is known as moment of inertia. If forces are in the radial direction only with an inverse square dependence, as in the case of a gravitational orbit, angular momentum is constant, and transverse speed is inversely proportional to the distance,
Velocity-addition formula appear there must be inverted here: This matrix rotates the a pure time-axis vector to , and all its columns are relativistically orthogonal to one another, so it defines a Lorentz transformation. If a fly is moving with four-velocity in the ship frame, and it is boosted by multiplying by the matrix above, the new four-velocity in the shore frame is , Dividing by the time component and substituting for the components of the four-vectors and in terms of the components of the three-vectors and gives the relativistic composition law as The form of the relativistic composition law can be
