Maybe where you live. Not where I live. BS. This is stated in any basic physics text book -even Wiki knows it: "In physics...The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed." What part of "everyday's language" wasn't clear? I can see you have trouble with English too. If my mediocre English is offending you, then feel free to converse in German, French, Italian or Spanish with me. I know all those languages better than English, which obviously isn't my native language. How many languages do _you_ speak? There are those who might argue that he doesn't actually speak any competently. Stefan was doing quite well actually, I realized that his problem was in understanding that the magnitude of velocity is called speed. Do you? Cheers |
