no, it's literally not you fucking brainlet.

>>9527820
velocity and speed are completely different

>> No.9527842

>>9527835
I just stumbled by this thread. Can I confirm something with you? Is velocity simply a speed with a designation of direction? It's been a while since my last physics class, but that was how my professor summed it up in layman's terms.

>> No.9527844

>>9527821
Symbol for velocity is usually v. I thought frequency was usually just f?

Velocity is a vector quantity
Speed is the magnitude of velocity

>>9527842
You remember correctly.
Velocity (a vector) is speed (a scalar) plus a direction.
Usually expressed as either speed-components along 3 mutually perpendicular axes or as a speed and two angles.

I don't know what you're trying to prove.
v is perfectly acceptable for representing speed (as it is the magnitude of the velocity vector).
Of course its not the same as ν (nu) for frequency, but the two look similar enough to be confused and both are used in the same areas of physics.

You're probably the same cunt who rounds pi down to 3.

Isn't nuj angular velocity? But it does ring a bell as frequency now that you mention it.

No need to read anything again, splitting hairs over velocity vs. speed is an exercise in autism.

No, the subject of the thread is using the same symbol for multiple physical properties. Which it seems like wasn't the case here.
