Like I said multiple times already. Take it up with the physicists and mathematicians. The example given is from a physics text book. You got a problem, take it up with the author.

"If you have a problem with that, take it up with the physicists and mathematicians." Sorry Matt but I think you're wrong, and you can consider me a mathematician (I have a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelor in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). Just taking a pure math approach now to set things right. Velocity is a vector as we know with a magnitude as Speed and a direction. So we can write: [cid:[email protected]] Where 's' is speed and 'v' is velocity and [cid:[email protected]] is the magnitude of the velocity. Now in the above equation, we cannot have 's' as non-zero and 'v' as zero. Because if 's' is zero , 'v' will be zero and if 's' is non-zero so will be 'v'.
