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, …
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 …
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 …
Change in direction affecting velocity - Physics Forums
Jul 13, 2016 · The key is to understand that velocity has components speed and direction and that a change to either component implies a change in velocity which by definition is an …
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 …
How to find the initial velocity given only angle and distance …
Sep 19, 2010 · Right so vertically final velocity is zero. We have the initial velocity as 27.586 m/s at an angle of 33°, so what is the vertical component of this velocity? We have 1) Final velocity …
Why pressure decreases with increase in velocity - Physics Forums
Sep 23, 2015 · Why would velocity perpendicular to flow be unchanged? My simple thought would be that there would be a preference in trajectory for molecules in a flow situation to be aligned …
Exit velocity of a gas through a hole - Physics Forums
Sep 25, 2016 · Question: How does the velocity of the escaping gas relate to the diameter of the hole? I am not sure even how to approach this. My first impulse is to apply Bernoulli's principal …
Velocity of an Object Dropped from Height: Law Explained
May 5, 2005 · an increase in the height from which an object is dropped positively correlates with the final velocity of the object as it falls. It has more time to fall, so it will hit at a greater speed. …
Relation Between Spring Constant and Angular Velocity
Nov 17, 2015 · I was going through Periodic Motion chapter of my book and came across an equation while defining the relation between Time Period of on oscillating particle and force …
