A velocity potential is a scalar function whose gradient is equal to the velocity of the fluid at that point. If a fluid is incompressible and has zero viscosity (an ideal fluid) its velocity as a function of position can always be described by a velocity potential. For a real fluid this is not generally possible.

What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?
To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.
Which type of axon will velocity of action potential conduction be the fastest?
Myelinated axons with the largest diameter
Does a jet plane at the point of taking off have kinetic energy or potential enegery?
Yes - because an airplane and a bird both flying exist in a potential field field (gravity) and can be moved by that force, they both have potential energy. How much depends upon their altitude. As well, because they both have a velocity in forward flight, they both have kinetic energy.
How do you find kinetic energy if no final velocity is given?
Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy during the change
What is efffect on drift velocity by increasing the potential difference?
Drift velocity increases.
What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?
To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.
How do you figure out velocity without time when you do have distance and loss of potential energy?
you cannot figure out the change in velocity given just the distance and loss of potential energy. you need more information
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
What is the relationship of potential energy to kinetic energy when an object is in motion?
velocity squared
The velocity of the action potential is fastest in which of the following axons?
a small myelinated axon
What is the mass of a skater if the potential energy is 600j velocity is 5ms height is 6?
20kg
Mechanical energy describes what energy?
combined potential and kinetic energy (:mass and velocity
What best describes mechanical energy?
combined potential and kinetic energy (:mass and velocity
What happens to the gravitational energy of an object as it gets higher in a gravitational field?
-- If the velocity is horizontal, then gravitational potential energy doesn't change. -- If velocity is vertical and upward, gravitational potential energy increases at a rate proportional to the speed. -- If velocity is vertical and downward, gravitational potential energy decreases at a rate proportional to speed.
If you throw a ball into the air where will it have the greatest gravitational potential energy?
The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.
