No. Velocity consists of a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude of velocity

is called "speed", and that's what the speedometer measures. But it displays

no information concerning the direction in which the car is moving.

How many pounds of force does a mousetrap have at half of it's full velocity?

depends on how strong the spring is.


Does a full can roll faster than a empty can down a ramp?

Yes it rolls faster because the fluid in a can is dense and increases the velocity.


Compare and contrast velocity and instantaneous speed?

velocity is just a general term for speed (it could be average velocity or instantaneous velocity). Instantaneous velocity/speed (same thing) is the speed at that second. If you are familiar with calculus, it is the derivative of the position graph. Whereas average velocity is how fast the object is going in, for example, 1 hour, it is the speed that is maintained the whole hour (or the average) Instantaneous would be that at the second, at for example t=1.425, the speed is 24m/h . something along those lines


How many feet does it take to reach terminal velosity?

1) Terminal velocity is never quite reached; a falling object will get closer and closer to terminal velocity. You can put some arbitrary limit, for which you can say that "for all intents and purposes, terminal velocity has been reached", for example, 95%, or 99%, of terminal velocity. 2) The actual terminal velocity varies for different objects. A feather will approach its terminal velocity almost instantly; a heavy object, without much surface area (for example, a steel ball) will have to fall more seconds (and more meters or feet), before it is anywhere close its terminal velocity.


If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?

When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".

How the angular velocity of binary stars are calculated?

By observation. The angular velocity can be derived from the period. If, for example, it takes a day (86,400 seconds) for a full revolution, then the angular velocity will be (2 x pi / 86400) radians per second.
