  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. 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 acceleration). Could anyone …

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

    Jul 20, 2025 · 20 TL;DR The relation between the concept and formula for group velocity As far as I know, if we have a wave function as a sum of many momentum eigen function, i.e., …

  4. 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 …

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

    Jul 9, 2021 · Though average speed over a finite interval of time is greater or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity, Instantaneous speed at an instant is equal to the …

  6. Addition of Velocities (Velocity Composition) in Special Relativity
