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:
Change in velocity is useful in many cases, such as determining the change in momentum (impulse), where :, where is momentum and m is mass. {{physics-stub}} 1 : Physical quantities |
