Magnitude Velocity Calculator:
Enter the values of X-Component of the Velocity Vx(m/s) & Y-Component of the Velocity Vy(m/s) to determine the value of Magnitude Velocity Vm(m/s).
Magnitude Velocity Formula:
The Magnitude Velocity Vm(m/s) in meter per second is equal to the SQRT of the x-component of the velocity Vx(m/s) in meter per second to addition of the y-component of the velocity Vy(m/s) in meter per second.
The Equation for Magnitude Velocity can be writtern as,
Vm(m/s) = SQRT ( Vx2(m/s) + Vy2(m/s) )
Here,
Vm(m/s) = Magnitude Velocity in meter per second
Vx(m/s) = x-component of the velocity in meter per second
Vy(m/s) = y-component of the velocity in meter per second
Calculation for Magnitude Velocity:
1)Determine the Magnitude Velocity and given for x-component of the velocity = 25m/s , y-component of the velocity = 30m/s.
Solution
Vm = √ ( Vx2 + Vy2 )
Vm = √ ( 252 + 302 )
Vm = 39.05m/s.
2)Determine the y-component of the velocity and given for x-component of the velocity = 25m/s , Magnitude Velocity = 39.05m/s.
Solution
Vm = √ ( Vx2 + Vy2 )
39.05 = √ ( 252 + Vy2 )
Vy = 30m/s.
