Euler seems to be the first ref I can find. He uses explicit for variables that can be stated directly in terms of others, and then uses implicit as the opposite - those that can’t be expressed directly. He was writing in Latin - explicitas (unravelled); implicitas (entwined)

I find formulas obfuscate the idea. As others have said it's always the angle between the initial and final velocity vectors. I give classes this to help them realise why formulas aren't great

I strongly believe you should make your house exactly how you want it - enjoy it to the max! We’re going shower-only when we redo our bathroom. As and when the time comes, future buyers can make it how they want. Same as for decor really.
