| | | | What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German for
| speed)
| | | | and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity)?
| | | |
| | | |
| | | | Dunno exactly.
| | |
| | | The difference is direction.
| | |
| | | And if you don't know enough English to understand the English
| words
| | for
| | | magnitude and direction,
| | |
| | | I do. The words you asked about were in German.
| |
| | No you don't, you hallucinate distance is a scalar.
| |
| | No, distance does not have a direction.
|
| Geschwindigkeit doesn't have direction.
| Ergo Geschwindigkeit isn't a vector. You said velocity was a vector and
| speed wasn't.
|
| Well, I guess "Geschwindigkeit" doesn't mean exactly the same thing as
| "velocity".
|
Yes it does, there are lots of books on the subject.

| Like I said, I don't know much German.

If you don't know enough English to understand the German words for
magnitude and direction, you shouldn't try and learn basic vector algebra
from books written in English. I would have thought this to be obvious.

| ****in' stupid, aren't you?
|
| | If you Google
| If I don't google distance will still be a vector.
|
| I gave you multiple web sites which quite explicitly stated the exact
| opposite.
|
Distance is still a vector.
Geschwindigkeit is still velocity except when it's speed.

| What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German for speed)
| and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity), now that I've told you?
|
|
| Dunno.

The difference is speed is a magnitude and velocity is a directional vector.
What's the difference between "Geschwindigkeit" (German for speed)
and "Geschwindigkeit" (German for velocity), now that I've told you, you
useless stupid **** that lies he's studied vector algebra but learnt
nothing?
What experimental predictions of relativity do you not believe in?
