An object's absolute elements are the position and velocity components relative to the origin of the coordinate frame.
The Absolute Position is the vector that describes the position relative to the origin of the coordinate frame.
The Absolute Velocity is the vector that describes the velocity relative to the origin of the coordinate frame.
The absolute elements are as follows.
Absolute Position X is the x-coordinate of the absolute position, and has the symbol rx.
The x-coordinate of the absolute position may be any number.
Absolute Position Y is the y-coordinate of the absolute position, and has the symbol ry.
The y-coordinate of the absolute position may be any number.
Absolute Position Z is the z-coordinate of the absolute position, and has the symbol rz.
The z-coordinate of the absolute position may be any number.
Absolute Velocity X is the x-coordinate of the absolute velocity, and has the symbol vx.
The x-coordinate of the absolute velocity may be any number.
Absolute Velocity Y is the y-coordinate of the absolute velocity, and has the symbol vy.
The y-coordinate of the absolute velocity may be any number.
Absolute Velocity Z is the z-coordinate of the absolute velocity, and has the symbol vz.
The z-coordinate of the absolute velocity may be any number.
