If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20 meters per second what is the net force acting on the car?
well as we know that velocity is a vector hence it has magnitude as well as direction. Let us assign sign conventions for direction of velocities in this example: Let eastward velocity be positive and westward be taken as negative. Initial Velocity:-20 Final Velocity:+5 CHange in velocity=Final velocity-Initial Valocity Change in Velocity=5-(-20)=25m/s So change in velocity will be 25m/s
If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20meters per seconds what is the net external force acting on it?
It's zero
Can an object have velocity and acceleration vectors that point in opposite directions?
Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.
What is an example of a car traveling eastward and it acceleration be westward?
If it is braking while travelling eastward it is accelerating westward
Velocities in opposite directions combine by what?
Vector addition of velocities would be if something like you were on an escalator, which is going down, and you tried to run up the escalator. So if the escalator is moving down at a rate of 5 ft/sec and you run up at 13 ft/sec (relative to the escalator) then the net velocity relative to the Earth is 8 ft/sec up. So you just subtract, because the two vectors are in the same line. OK so really the direction is at an angle (rather than 'up'). The larger velocity direction will determine the net direction. If you were walking up the escalator at 3 ft/sec (relative to the escalator), then your net velocity is 2 ft/sec down.

Can an object have an eastward velocity while experiencing a westward accelerations?
The answer is yes and no.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed plus direction.If an object is travelling eastward and slowing down in a straight line then its velocity is decreasing, it is still travelling eastward. However the force slowing the object is a westward force.A reducing acceleration (slowing down) is most often called a deceleration or negative acceleration. So you have a negative eastward acceleration.

Was the US justified in expanding its border?
Its all relative on how you would consider justification. The 19th century Americans had the idea of Manifest Destiny, like it was there "Destiny" to expand westward and take over most of the continent. But, as you probably know, there were already people living there (natives.) The Native Americans were already pushed westward and put on reservations to try to "civilize" them. But once again, it is all relative.
What is the efffect of rotation of the earth when facing the sun?
The illuminated patch on the earth's surface drifts westward relative to a fixed point on the earth as the earth spins eastward.

What is the velocity addition problem?
If a train moves west at 30 mph and a boy runs westward down the aisle at 8 mph, his overall velocity is 38mph. If a car could drive 100 mi/s and the headlights were on, the speed of the light will be 186292 mi/s and not 186392 mi/s as one would think.
