词条 Delta-v (physics)
释义 {{DISPLAYTITLE:Delta-v (physics)}}{{for|a more in depth astrodynamical definition|Delta-v}}

Delta comes as the 4th letter in the greek alphabets which is spelled as 'D' in the english alphabets . In general physics, delta-v is simply a change in velocity. The Greek uppercase letter delta is the standard mathematical symbol to represent change in some quantity.

Depending on the situation, delta-v can be either a spatial vector (Δv) or scalar (Δv). In either case it is equal to the acceleration (vector or scalar) integrated over time:

(vector version)

(scalar version)

If acceleration is constant, the change in velocity can thus be expressed as:

where:

  • v0 or v0 is initial velocity (at time t0),
  • v1 or v1 is subsequent velocity (at time t1).

Change in velocity is useful in many cases, such as determining the change in momentum (impulse), where :, where is momentum and m is mass.
