  1. Relationship between viscosity and velocity in fluid mechanics

    Oct 31, 2022 · The viscous force within a fluid will depend on the velocity gradient (aka shear rate) within the fluid. That does not mean that the viscosity is a function of velocity. Viscosity is …

  2. 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 u = initial velocity, …

  3. Vertical circular motion minimum speed proof - Physics Forums

    Nov 21, 2009 · hi, i've read in a lot of places that the minimum speed fora body to "finish" a vertical circle is (rg)^0.5, but I've never understood why.. they assume the...

  4. Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity - Physics Forums

    Jul 11, 2025 · The average velocity is the rate of change of position over a time interval, while the instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of position at a point in time. As a time interval …

  5. What is Velocity in Quantum Mechanics? - Physics Forums

    Jul 16, 2010 · I want to know what does velocity really mean in quantum mechanics. Since the particle doesn’t have exact position, how can we talk about the velocity and momentum?

  6. Terminal Velocity from a graph - Physics Forums

    Mar 16, 2006 · One would think that the ball bearing would reach terminal velocity almost immediately after entering the syrup, unless it was at a high temperature, in which case it will …

  7. Find Velocity given Force and Mass - Physics Forums

    Mar 17, 2009 · Velocity is the speed at which an object is moving. It can also be thought of as the speed of a moving object divided by the time of travel. In this case, it is the speed of a body …

  8. What is the angular velocity of a satellite? - Physics Forums

    Mar 15, 2021 · The idea that only relative angular velocity is physically meaningful is very wrong. Angular velocity is not a relative quantity, it is invariant and is easily measured locally with a …

  9. The magnitude of a four velocity - Physics Forums

    Apr 15, 2020 · I want to clarfiy some ideas, so let us assume an inital observer measures a 4 velocity of an object. . When we calculate the magnitude of the 4-velocity we get, where and …

  10. Invariance of 4-velocity - Physics Forums

    Jul 8, 2025 · The vacuum-speed-of-light is a scalar invariant under Lorentz transformations, while the 4-velocity is a 4-vector and is therefore not invariant (although the scalar product of two 4 …
