[Phys-L] Re: thrown ball with air drag



I don't know what inverse kinetic energy is, but inverse speed is
slowness: the time per unit of distance traveled. If I remember
correctly, geologists use slowness in the refraction of seismic waves.

But what is inverse kinetic energy (to use the sum idea) or inverse
velocity (to use your idea of a right triangle)? Nothing physical
that I can think of.
