  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 u = initial velocity, …

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

    Aug 1, 2009 · Zero velocity can occur at a single instant while acceleration remains non-zero, as demonstrated by a ball thrown upwards that momentarily stops at its peak height. Throughout …

  3. Velocity of air coming out of a nozzle - Physics Forums

    May 31, 2013 · To calculate the speed of air exiting a nozzle from a compressed air tank, the pressure ratio must be considered to determine if the flow is choked, which occurs when the …

  4. 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 …

  5. Final velocity of a ball down a ramp. - Physics Forums

    Jan 16, 2015 · Ignoring the fact that it's a ball for the moment, just treating it as a zero friction ramp, those (that) equation only tells you the final velocity. It doesn't tell you how long it takes …

  6. Exit velocity of a gas through a hole • Physics Forums

    Sep 25, 2016 · The discussion centers on the relationship between the exit velocity of gas and the diameter of a hole in a pressurized container. Initially, it was suggested that the exit velocity …

  7. How to find the initial velocity given only angle and distance …

    Sep 19, 2010 · To find the initial velocity of an object launched at a 33-degree angle that lands 85 meters away, the correct formula is range = v0^2 * sin (2θ) / g. The calculated initial velocity is …

  8. Average Speed vs. Velocity: Explained • Physics Forums

    Jul 9, 2021 · Though average speed over a finite interval of time is greater or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity, Instantaneous speed at an instant is equal to the …

  9. Find Velocity given Force and Mass - Physics Forums

    Mar 17, 2009 · To find the velocity of a 4.80 kg object subjected to a time-varying force, the relationship F = ma can be used to derive acceleration. The formula v = at can be adapted to …

  10. Can force be expressed as mass flow rate times velocity

    Aug 1, 2015 · Force can indeed be expressed as mass flow rate times velocity, particularly in fluid dynamics scenarios like water flowing through a pipe or gas from a spray can. According to …
