  1. Vertical circular motion minimum speed proof - Physics Forums

    Nov 21, 2009 · The minimum speed required for a body to complete a vertical circular motion is established as v = (rg)^0.5, where r is the radius and g is the acceleration due to gravity. This …

  2. Difference between rotational and angular velocity

    Sep 26, 2003 · The discussion clarifies the distinction between rotational velocity and angular velocity. Angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angle over time, measured in …

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

    Sep 19, 2010 · The discussion focuses on calculating the initial velocity of a projectile launched at a 33-degree angle that lands 85 meters away. The formula used is Range = v02sin (2θ)/g, …

  4. 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. …

  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. 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 …

  7. 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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. Why Is Initial Velocity Not Always Zero? • Physics Forums

    Aug 9, 2021 · The discussion clarifies that the initial velocity of an object is not always zero, particularly when considering the moment it leaves the thrower's hand. The term "initial …

  10. 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 …
