  1. Is velocity ever a scalar quantity? - Physics Forums

    Dec 27, 2024 · I thought velocity was always a vector quantity, one with both magnitude and direction. When it came to the suvat equations, where v = final velocity, and...

  2. Understanding Zero Velocity and Non-Zero Acceleration: Explained

    Aug 1, 2009 · I heard it would be possible to have zero velocity & non zero acceleration (I know the opposite situation where there is velocity (constant), but zero acceleration). Could anyone please …

  3. Calculating Nozzle Flow Rate To work out the flow rate of water from a nozzle we need to work out the volume in a given period of time. To do this we work out the area of the nozzle and then multiply it by …

  4. Addition of Velocities (Velocity Composition) in Special Relativity

    May 20, 2024 · The “Addition of Velocities” formula (more correctly, the “Composition of Velocities” formula) in Special Relativity v A C c = v A B c + v B C c 1 + v A B c v B C c is a non-intuitive result …

  5. How to find angular velocity from torque? • Physics Forums

    Sep 6, 2013 · Hello, If I apply force on a rigid cube, I can find the torque τ as: τ = F x r Now, from torque τ I can know about the axis of rotation but how much should I rotate the cube. How can I find the …

  6. Phase velocity and wave velocity - Physics Forums

    May 29, 2017 · Numerically, speed of wave propagation (defined as wave velocity) = ω/k = phase velocity But, conceptually is there any difference between phase velocity...

  7. Can you have a negative average velocity? • Physics Forums

    Sep 3, 2012 · I understand that it's possible to have a negative instantaneous velocity, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have an negative average velocity. For example, let's say you start heading north at …

  8. Phase and group velocity for the wave function - Physics Forums

    Jul 20, 2025 · As far as I know, if we have a wave function as a sum of many momentum eigen function, i.e., ##\\psi=\\sum_k \\alpha_k e^{i(kx-\\omega t)}##, the group velocity is the velocity of the whole …

  9. Diving Board Jump: Analyzing Velocity and Height - Physics Forums

    Sep 13, 2013 · Homework Statement A diver jumps off a 3.00 meter high diving board with an initial velocity of 1.75 m/s vertically upward. a) What is the diver's veolcity when she reaches the water? …

  10. Learn the Basics of Dimensional Analysis - Physics Forums

    Jul 18, 2019 · The missing quantity is the velocity at which the object travels, which has physical dimension . Let us, therefore, see if we can find a product involving and that has the appropriate …
