  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. Relationship between viscosity and velocity in fluid mechanics

    Oct 31, 2022 · hello, I read in a lecture paper about fluid mechanics that velocity is not related to viscosity, i found this odd and i think it is an error , can someone...

  3. 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., ##\psi=\sum_k \alpha_k e^ {i (kx-\omega t)}##, the group velocity is the velocity …

  4. Velocity divided by Acceleration gives distance? - Physics Forums

    Jun 24, 2016 · Velocity divided by acceleration does not yield distance, as the units do not align correctly. The discussion highlights a common confusion between the symbol 's' representing …

  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. Exit velocity of a gas through a hole - Physics Forums

    Sep 25, 2016 · Hello, Given: A large pressurized container with a small hole in a side. The sides of the container are VERY thin such that the thickness of the sides can be ignored. The …
