Mass driver constrained by a limited amount of onboard spacecraft power. Thrust and momentum from exhaust, per unit mass expelled, scales up linearly with its velocity (momentum = mv), yet kinetic energy and energy input requirements scale up faster with velocity squared (kinetic energy = mv). Too low exhaust velocity would excessively increase propellant mass needed under the rocket equation, with too high a fraction of energy going into accelerating propellant not used yet. Higher exhaust velocity has both benefit and tradeoff, increasing propellant usage efficiency (more momentum per unit mass of propellant expelled) but decreasing thrust and the current rate of
Velocity (newspaper) in Louisville, and gay life. Regular weekly features included "The Bar Hopper", in which a local tavern was profiled; "The Party Crasher", a photo-story from the weekend's parties; and "What I'm Into", a mini-profile of a local person. "Velocity" was discontinued during a round of budget cuts by Gannett. Velocity (newspaper) Velocity was a free, weekly newspaper published between December 3, 2003 and June 15, 2011, by "The Courier-Journal" of Louisville, Kentucky. The full-color tabloid was distributed at 1,800 locations in a 13-county area in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. "Velocity" was widely seen as an attempt by the "Courier-Journal" and
