Best Answer

establish a point of reference (it will depend on the number of dimensions involved to determine the amount of numbers needed) and make all measurements from there.

What two factors must be known to determine the velocity of an object in motion?

The object's speed and direction.


If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and DIRECTION?

No, you cannot.


What determines the terminal velocity of an object?

Gravity and drag. Gravity accelerates the object and drag (caused by friction) slows it down. When the full effect of these two forces have been applied to an object, that object is said to have reached terminal velocity. A combination of mass, the size of the leading surface area and the shape of the object determine it's velocity. Example: A man with a closed parachute falls faster than a man with an open parachute.


How do you determine net forces on an object?

How can you find the direction of a moving object?

Determine the position of the object at two different times. The vector joining the first with the second of those positions points in the direction of the objects motion.


How does the direction of the acceleration along determine if the object is speeding up or slowing down?

Take the component of the acceleration along the direction the object is moving. If this component is positive (the acceleration vector, or the relevant component, points in the same direction as the movement), then the object is speeding up.
