  1. Relationship between viscosity and velocity in fluid mechanics

    Oct 31, 2022 · The relationship between viscosity and velocity in fluid mechanics is clarified: viscosity is an intrinsic property of a fluid that remains constant regardless of the flow velocity. …

  2. Phase and group velocity for the wave function - Physics Forums

    Jul 20, 2025 · As far as I know, if we have a wave function as a sum of many momentum eigen function, i.e., ψ = ∑ k α k e i (k x ω t), the group velocity is the velocity of the whole wave …

  3. 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, …

  4. Average Speed vs. Velocity: Explained - Physics Forums

    Jul 9, 2021 · The discussion clarifies the distinction between average speed and average velocity, emphasizing that average speed is defined as total distance divided by total time, while …

  5. 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 …

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

    Aug 1, 2009 · The key takeaway is that instantaneous velocity can be zero at specific moments, while acceleration remains non-zero, highlighting a common misconception in understanding …

  7. Velocity of an Object Dropped from Height: Law Explained

    May 5, 2005 · The discussion clarifies that the velocity of an object dropped from a height positively correlates with the height due to the Law of Conservation of Energy. As an object …

  8. 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 …

  9. Understanding Velocity=r (omega)?? - Physics Forums

    Mar 2, 2010 · The equation for linear velocity, represented as v = r (ω), establishes that velocity is directly proportional to the radius (r) and the angular velocity (ω) measured in radians per …

  10. Difference between angular velocity and angular frequency

    Aug 8, 2018 · The discussion clarifies the distinction between angular velocity (ω v) and angular frequency (ω f). Angular velocity is defined as the instantaneous rate of change of angular …
