  1. Relationship between viscosity and velocity in fluid mechanics

    Oct 31, 2022 · Viscosity is an intrinsic property of fluids that remains constant regardless of the fluid's velocity, as long as the flow is laminar and the relationship between viscous force and …

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

    Jul 20, 2025 · Since the phase velocity is linear in k, v p h a s e = ℏ k m, the group velocity is an average of all the phase velocities in the wave pocket. This turns out true in the simplest case …

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 …

  6. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. Relation Between Spring Constant and Angular Velocity

    Nov 17, 2015 · The discussion focuses on the relationship between the spring constant (k), mass (m), and angular velocity (ω) in the context of periodic motion. The equation k/m = ω² is …

  9. 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 …

  10. Can you have a negative average velocity? • Physics Forums

    Sep 3, 2012 · Negative average velocity is possible when considering displacement in a defined directional context. For example, if an object moves north and then south, its average velocity …
