How is it possible for a car to have an average velocity of zero and an average speed of 65 mph?
If the car has an average speed of 65 mph, when it returns to its starting point, it will have a displacement of zero and an average velocity of zero, because velocity has both speed and direction.
Is a car's speedometer show instantaneous speed average speed or velocity?
It shows instantaneous speed.
What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?
Velocity changes as direction is continuously changing.
What is meant by rms velocity?
rms means root mean square, or in a roundabout way the average. Therefore the average velocity or average speed (of a car?)
How can a vehicle at the same time have a constant speed but changing velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
What type of velocity does the speedometer on a car measure?
It reads instantaneous speed, and tells you nothing about average speed.
If a car is traveling at the same speed for a long time it is said to be traveling at?
The answer is that u r travelling with an average speed for that time or a constant speed . it also means that u are travelling with a uniform velocity.
Is speed meter measure velocity?
no ... not SPEED OF A MOVING CAR ......IT is to measure the average speed of a carThis can help :DRoy , Brunei
Does the speedometerof a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?
The speedometer in a car does not measure the car's velocity because velocity is an (A) vector quantity and has a direction associated with it (B) vector quantity and does not have a direction associated with it.
If a car is traveling at a constant speed but is going around a curve what can you say about the cars motion?
The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.
Do speed and velocity have same meaning?
No. It's confusing unless you're into physics or mathematics but velocity is a vector quantity with speed is one aspect. Velocity includes speed and the direction of motion. A car is going 60 miles per hour as speed. A car is going 60 MPH due north is velocity.
What is the average speed of the car traveling 300km in 6hrs?
Velocity (or speed) = Distance ÷ Time In this example, speed = 300/6 = 50 kph
