  1. 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 …

  2. Is velocity ever a scalar quantity? • Physics Forums

    Dec 27, 2024 · Velocity is fundamentally a vector quantity, possessing both magnitude and direction, while speed is a scalar representing only magnitude. In the context of the SUVAT …

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

    Jul 9, 2021 · Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time, while average velocity is the change in position divided by the time interval for that change. In …

  4. 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 …

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

    Jan 16, 2015 · For a rolling ball, some kinetic energy is converted to rotational energy, reducing linear velocity further. Thus, while the final velocity remains constant, the acceleration and …

  6. How to Determine Velocity from a Force-Time Graph?

    Mar 26, 2015 · To determine velocity from a force-time graph, the impulse is calculated as the area under the curve, which is crucial for solving the problem. The impulse-momentum …

  7. 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 …

  8. Understanding Non-Zero Velocity vs. Non-Zero Acceleration

    Sep 22, 2011 · Non-zero velocity indicates an object's speed and direction, while non-zero acceleration refers to a change in that speed or direction. For example, a train at rest has both …

  9. 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 …

  10. 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 …
