Kinematics (3D Velocity Squared)
v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 + vz^2
What it says
Calculates the squared magnitude of a 3D velocity vector from its x, y, and z components.
Symbols
| Symbol | Quantity | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
v_squared | Squared velocity magnitude (m^2/s^2) | L^2 T^-2 |
vx | x-component of velocity (m/s) | L T^-1 |
vy | y-component of velocity (m/s) | L T^-1 |
vz | z-component of velocity (m/s) | L T^-1 |
