Yes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.

Can two object have the same speeds but different velocities?

No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.


Are acceleration and speed always in the same direction?

No. Acceleration only affects velocity in one particular direction (same direction as acceleration). Speed is the summation of velocities in all directions.


Will objects of different mass but the same size and shape fall at the same rate?

In the absence of any other force on them other than the force of gravity, all objects, regardless of their mass, size, shape, density, color, creed, or religious, political, or gender affiliation, fall with the same acceleration. That means that with equal initial velocities, their velocities are all the same after falling for equal times.

Can a body posses two velocities at a specific time?

For different observers (moving at different velocities), the object will have different velocities (relative to the corresponding observer). For one and the same observer, the body will have only one velocity at any given time.


How do you combine velocities in the same direction and different direction?

If the objects have different velocities they will have different inertia.


In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?

no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
