Nov 21, 2009 · so the body reached the top.. let's take what happened so far, in reverse.. now the body has velocity of (rg)^0.5 to the other side, mg is still downward.. we KNOW the body will …
for measuring velocity of water so we have to calculate velocity using head calculation or from stagnation pressure which we measure using a pitot tube. Calculate Velocity from Head We …
Calculating velocity of a particle if distances are constant
May 17, 2025 · There are 3 particles a, b and c. A moves towards B with velocity 5 m/s and B moves towards A with same speed as A. C moves such that separation between B and C is …

Oct 26, 2008 · 1. How do you find the velocity of an object if you are given the x and y components of the velocity? 2. Not sure! 3. It makes the most sense to use the Pythagorean …
Understanding Angular Velocity: W = 2pi(f) - Physics Forums
May 31, 2010 · Can anyone explain to me how angular velocity (w) = 2pi(f) -->where f = frequency. This is not a homework question involving numbers. I'm reading a section on "the …
What is the significance of sqrt{2gh} - Physics Forums
Apr 22, 2010 · I've seen it in escape velocity problems, though with an R instead of h. I've seen it with conservation of momentum applications, and it's similar to PE = mgh. Yesterday my …
Understanding Zero Velocity and Non-Zero Acceleration: Explained
Aug 1, 2009 · The problem here is that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what acceleration means in relation to velocity. Consider a curve of velocity vs. time. At some time, …
Demystifying the Often Misunderstood Bernoulli's Equation
Dec 3, 2018 · As a sanity check, we can perform a thought experiment based on a force balance (momentum conservation). If the velocity increases from point 1 to point 2, then that …
Minimum angular velocity of a point mass on a rotating rod
Jun 3, 2025 · Because the system has no friction, when the point mass falls, I think both angular momentum and energy are conserved. Further because the rod is massless, there cannot be …
How Is the Formula v=wr Derived in Vector Terms? - Physics Forums
Oct 15, 2014 · The angular velocity ω is usually a scalar, rather than a vector quantity. The magnitude of the radial velocity is given as v = ω r, where r is the magnitude of the radius …
