Equivelocity

/ˌɛkwɪvəˈlɒsɪti/ noun

Definition

The state or property of having equal velocity or speed.

Etymology

From 'equi-' (equal) plus 'velocity' from Latin 'velocitas' (swiftness), from 'velox' (fast). A technical physics and mechanics term.

Kelly Says

In physics, objects moving at equivelocity appear stationary to each other—it's why riding in an airplane, you don't feel movement even though you're traveling 500 mph; this principle revolutionized how we understand motion and relativity.
