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

    Sep 13, 2013 · The discussion centers on the physics problem of a diver jumping from a 3.00-meter high diving board with an initial upward velocity of 1.75 m/s. The diver's velocity upon …

  2. What is the derivation for the drag force equation used in Terminal ...

    Feb 17, 2005 · The drag force equation used in terminal velocity, expressed as F_drag = 1/2 * C_D * A * ρ * v^2, is fundamentally a definition rather than a derivation. The drag coefficient …

  3. How Do You Calculate the Muzzle Velocity of a Spring-Loaded Toy …

    Sep 9, 2007 · The discussion focuses on calculating the muzzle velocity of a spring-loaded toy gun using principles of physics, specifically conservation of energy. The spring constant is …

  4. Instantaneous Velocity: drag racing problem - Physics Forums

    Feb 4, 2012 · The discussion centers on estimating instantaneous velocity for a drag racing problem involving a "funny car." At 2.0 seconds, the correct velocity is determined to be 67 m/s …

  5. Why a force perpendicular to the velocity doesn't change the …

    Jan 10, 2020 · Hence, if the force is perpendicular to the velocity, then , which means the kinetic energy of the particle is constant, hence the speed is constant. Sir but in this derivation we …

  6. Riding a Loop the Loop (velocity at the bottom of the loop)

    Feb 25, 2008 · The discussion focuses on calculating the minimum height (h) required for a car on a loop-the-loop amusement park ride to maintain contact at the top of the loop. The minimum …

  7. Change in direction affecting velocity • Physics Forums

    Jul 13, 2016 · Changing direction while in motion does affect velocity, as velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. When an object, such as a weight swung in a …

  8. 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, …

  9. Linear & Angular Velocity Related Rates - Physics Forums

    Dec 24, 2015 · Learn how to convert angular velocity from revolutions per minute to radians per minute. Explore trigonometric identities relevant to related rates, such as the secant and …

  10. Orbital Velocity: Why Mass Doesn't Matter • Physics Forums

    Oct 10, 2015 · The discussion centers on the independence of orbital velocity from mass, specifically in the context of satellites. The centripetal force equation, m2v2/r = GM1m2/r2, …
