  1. 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...

  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. How Long Does It Take a Person to Reach Terminal Velocity?

    Apr 20, 2014 · The terminal velocity will depend very much on how this person falls, how much of his body is exposed to the air resistance. Think of someone falling foot down making a straight …

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

    Sep 13, 2013 · A diver jumps from a 3.00-meter high diving board with an initial upward velocity of 1.75 m/s. The calculated velocity upon reaching the water is 7.87 m/s, but it's important to note …

  5. 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 …

  6. At What Velocity Does the Universe Expand and Can It Be Faster …

    Feb 9, 2016 · You may sometimes see statements that cosmological inflation caused the universe to expand faster than c, or that the edge of the observable universe occurs at the place where …

  7. Why Is Initial Velocity Not Always Zero? • Physics Forums

    Aug 9, 2021 · The initial velocity of this ball is at the moment is resting at the table and it is therefore zero, however for the purpose of the problem we consider as "initial" velocity the final …

  8. Why Does a Free-Falling Object Not Have Zero Final Velocity …

    Jan 25, 2024 · I am super stumped at this question, the answer key is telling me 6.78 downwards, i think I'm reading and observing the question wrong. Isn't final velocity 0 so why can't i do 0 = …

  9. Change in direction affecting velocity • Physics Forums

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

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

    Sep 19, 2010 · Homework Statement An object is shot (from a cannon) at an angle of 33 degrees and landed 85 m away. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity (Hint:Look at the x …
