Physics
English term or phrase: Momentum vector
Ich habe einen Text über den Weihnachtsmann zu übersetzen und sehe mich schmerzhaft mit meinen Lücken in Physik konfrontiert. So kann ich nicht mit Sicherheit sagen, wie o.g. Begriff zu übersetzen ist. Alle Übersetzungsversuche fanden auf Google nur schwache Resonanz. Wer weiß es ganz genau? Hier der Schwindel erregende Kontext:
"The terminal velocity of a reindeer in dry December air over the Northern Hemisphere is known with tremendous precision. So is the mass of Santa and his sleigh (since the number of children and their gifts is also known). As we just saw his direction of flight is essentially east to west. All of that, when taken together, means that the momentum vector of Mr. Claus and his cargo is known with incredible precision..."
