Why does a car traveling at constant speed can accelerate while a car at constant velocity connot?
The question is inherantly flawed. A car traveling at a constant speed cannot accelerate, if it could it's speed would not be constant. "Constant speed" means that speed is not increasing or decreasing but remain consistent over time. For example, if you cover 10 feet during each second, your speed is constant. "Constant velocity" implies constant speed, but it has an additional constraint: you can't change your direction. If you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a straight line, then your speed is constant and your velocity is constant. But if you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a wiggly line (or a circle, or anything not straight), then your speed is constant but your velocity is NOT constant. If you travel at a constant speed but change direction, velocity is changed. Or if you travel in the same direction but change the speed, velocity is changed. Average speed is is easier: distance/time So, your question should read: Why can a car traveling at an average speed accelerate, but a car traveling at constant speed cannot? Or Why am I asking the wrong questions?
What would the wavelength be of a 65 Hz wave traveling at 1080 feet per second?
Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength is speed over frequency: 1080f/s/65hz = 16.6ft (approximately)
Does a rifle travel fast or the sound of the shot fired from it?
The bullets fired from MOST rifles travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is ABOUT 1126 feet per second- it varies some with temperature, air pressure, etc. Rifles usually fire a bullet with an intital speed of between 2400 and 4000 feet per second. Bullets DO slow down after leaving the gun, and can become slower than the speed of sound after traveling some distance.
If an object moved 33 feet in 5 seconds what is its speed?
Speed = (distance) / (time) = 33/5 = 6.6 feet per second
Will Car B overtake Car A if Car A Is Traveling in a straight line at a constant speed of 60 Mph and Car B Is 20 Feet behind Car A traveling at a constant speed of 60 Mph?
Only if car A runs out of gas first.
Jesse is traveling at a speed of 105 miles per hour - what is his speed in feet per second?

How many feet per second am I traveling at 180mph?
At 180mph you are traveling at 264 feet per second.
What is the formula for traveling feet per second?
formula for speed is metres per second so 1 metre is 3.25 feet so to covert metres per second to feet per second, multiply the metres value by 3.25.
