power¶

The instantaneous power of force.

Symbol:: P
Latex:: \(P\)
Dimension:: power

force¶

The force exerted on the object.

Symbol:: F
Latex:: \(F\)
Dimension:: force

speed¶

The speed of the object

Symbol:: v
Latex:: \(v\)
Dimension:: velocity

angle_between_vectors¶

The angle between the force and velocity vectors.

Symbol:: phi

law¶

P = F * v * cos(phi)

Latex:: \[P = F v \cos{\left(\varphi \right)}\]
