minus-squareSergio@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 day agoThe equation produced a large number of speedraptors, but only the velociraptors survived over evolutionary time, because the non-velocity-aware speedraptors kept chasing their prey in the wrong direction.
minus-squaremilicent_bystandr@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoDisplacemenraptor/timeraptor Actually that’s still wrong. dDisplacemenraptor/dTime. Otherwise you cancel out the raptors.
minus-squareulterno@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·13 hours agoOr you could go with: (Displacementeraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor The d is only needed if it is changing.
minus-squaremilicent_bystandr@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 hour agoWhy *vector? Displacement is already a vector; distance being a scalar. The d is only needed if it is changing. Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?
