Proper velocity Proper velocity In relativity, proper velocity, also known as celerity, is an alternative to velocity for measuring motion. Whereas velocity relative to an observer is distance per unit time where both distance and time are measured by the observer, proper velocity relative to an observer divides observer-measured distance by the time elapsed on the clocks of the traveling object. Proper velocity equals velocity at low speeds. Proper velocity at high speeds, moreover, retains many of the properties that velocity loses in relativity compared with Newtonian theory. For example, proper velocity equals momentum per unit mass at any speed, and therefore
Power (physics) yields: where "A" and "B" are the beginning and end of the path along which the work was done. The power at any point along the curve "C" is the time derivative In one dimension, this can be simplified to: In rotational systems, power is the product of the torque τ and angular velocity ω, where ω measured in radians per second. The formula_13 represents scalar product. In fluid power systems such as hydraulic actuators, power is given by where "p" is pressure in pascals, or N/m and "Q" is volumetric flow rate in m/s in SI units. If a
