  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. Numerade

    Confusing speed with velocity, neglecting the directional component of velocity. Overlooking that deceleration is still a form of acceleration (negative acceleration). Failing to correctly apply the …

  3. What is the derivation for the drag force equation used in Terminal ...

    Feb 17, 2005 · The drag force equation used in terminal velocity, expressed as F_drag = 1/2 * C_D * A * ρ * v^2, is fundamentally a definition rather than a derivation. The drag coefficient …

  4. Diving Board Jump: Analyzing Velocity and Height - Physics Forums

    Sep 13, 2013 · The discussion centers on the physics problem of a diver jumping from a 3.00-meter high diving board with an initial upward velocity of 1.75 m/s. The diver's velocity upon …

  5. Change in direction affecting velocity • Physics Forums

    Jul 13, 2016 · Changing direction while in motion does affect velocity, as velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. When an object, such as a weight swung in a …

  6. Induced Drag Airfoil: Proportional to Velocity^2? - Physics Forums

    Mar 14, 2010 · The discussion centers on the relationship between induced drag and velocity in airfoils, specifically addressing the claim that induced drag is inversely proportional to the …
