So to remind you of physics: You have position, derivative, velocity; then acceleration; and then comes jerk, and then comes snap.

You can dive into the stratosphere, and precisely dissipate that velocity, and come back out to the space station.

Then what we do is we increase the velocity a little bit.

Cars are three-dimensional objects that have a fixed position and velocity.

And then there's what I call our average, necessary quotidian velocity.

Well, the impact energy depends on the square of the velocity times its mass, and the mass depends on how big it is and what it's made of.

Gas molecules that bounce off the warm side bounce away with some extra velocity because it's warm.

You use gravitational flybys, slingshots, where you pass by a planet at very low altitude, a few thousand kilometers, and then you get the velocity of that planet around the sun for free.

However, the velocity the spacecraft had was much too fast.

Now do a simple calculation: if the velocity of Rosetta is off by one centimeter per second, seven hours is 25,000 seconds.
