LinearVelocity — Extraction of linear velocity of point relative to observer [mathematica]

LinearVelocity[O,P]

O: name of defined observer

P: name of defined point

The function LinearVelocity returns the linear velocity of the point P relative to the observer O.

Remember to invoke DeclareStates prior to using LinearVelocity.
