  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  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. Addition of Velocities (Velocity Composition) in Special Relativity

    May 20, 2024 · The “Addition of Velocities” formula (more correctly, the “Composition of Velocities” formula) in Special Relativity v A C c = v A B c + v B C c 1 + v A B c v B C c is a …

  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. Demystifying the Often Misunderstood Bernoulli’s Equation

    Dec 3, 2018 · The goal of this post is to present Bernoulli's equation, its derivation based on energy conservation, and interpretations based on both momentum and energy conservation, …

  7. How to find the initial velocity given only angle and distance …

    Sep 19, 2010 · Homework Statement An object is shot (from a cannon) at an angle of 33 degrees and landed 85 m away. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity (Hint:Look at the x …

  8. Chapter 6, Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions Video Solutions

    Find (a) the impulse of the force, (b) the final velocity of the object if it is initially at rest, and (c) the final velocity of the object if it is initially moving along the x - axis with a velocity of 22.0 m/s.

  9. How to Apply Newton’s Second Law to Variable Mass Systems

    Aug 15, 2023 · Introduction The applicability of Newton’s second law in the oft-quoted “general form” was an issue in a recent thread (see post #4) in cases of systems with variable mass. …
