High School Is velocity ever a scalar quantity?
Strictly speaking, velocity is a vector, of course, but context is everything. What kind of problems were in the section they covered just before the question? If the motion in those problems was limited to one dimension, and the v was formatted like a regular scalar variable (i.e. the v...- silenteuphony

High School Deriving v(t) from F(x), for Linear Motion
Assuming I push a 1 kg block on a level surface, with no energy lost to friction, and I have an equation F(x) for force in terms of position, how would I derive an equation v(t) for velocity in terms of t? Specifically the function F(x) = sqrt(x) * sin(x^2), for 0 <= x <= sqrt(pi), if possible...- silenteuphony
