/sci/ can you help me, I'm not a native english speaker... How do you call velocity Vo in english? I know that omega\times r is relative velocity, and that V is absolute, but what term do you have for Vo?
>>
V not is how it's pronounced
>>
>>7739975
V naught* you filthy animal

I thought that naught means that something is in its initial state. This is velocity of the point O with respect to a fixed reference frame, So it is not same as the initial velocity (this is formula for an absolute velocity of point M)
>>
>>7739981
V naught or u
>>
>>7739981
Naught means "nothing" or "0"

Just a better way than saying V zero

Aha, thank you all. I wasn't aware. In our language we can read it like that, but we also have a special term for this component of velocity, which I don't know how to translate, and whether it is used in English. Roughly, it can be translated as "transfer velocity", but that does not make sense in English.
>>
>>7740016
it's v O, like v P if the point were P

What's your mother tongue, OP?

Actually, "transfer velocity" doesn't sound as silly to me, a native American English speaker, as you might think.

The term we tend to use is, "translational velocity," as in it is translating (moving) with a translational velocity of 8 m/s.
For rotation, we say, "rotational velocity," as in it is rotating with a rotational velocity of 8 m/s.
>>
>>7740029
In our language we call this particular velocity "transfer velocity" because it "transfers" its motion to the point M, thus, the absolute motion is 'transfer(ed) motion' plus 'relative motion'.

On the side note, "transfer velocity" can be translation velocity or angular velocity, depending on the case. In this case it is transnational.
