Areal velocity equal to the magnitude of the cross product of vectors "AB" and "AC". This area can also be viewed as a vector with this magnitude, pointing in a direction perpendicular to the parallelogram; this vector is the cross product itself: Hence The areal velocity is this vector area divided by Δ"t" in the limit that Δ"t" becomes vanishingly small: But, formula_4 is the velocity vector formula_5 of the moving particle, so that On the other hand, the angular momentum of the particle is and hence the angular momentum equals 2"m" times the areal velocity. Conservation of areal velocity is a
Velocity both classical and modern physics, since many systems in physics deal with the relative motion of two or more particles. In Newtonian mechanics, the relative velocity is independent of the chosen inertial reference frame. This is not the case anymore with special relativity in which velocities depend on the choice of reference frame. If an object A is moving with velocity vector v and an object B with velocity vector w, then the velocity of object A "relative to" object B is defined as the difference of the two velocity vectors: Similarly the relative velocity of object B moving with
