When cars are changing direction they are also changing what?

They are changing velocity. Velocity is the measure of speed and direction


what is the velocity of light?

The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.


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.


What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?

velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar


Can the relative velocity of two bodies be greater than the absolute velocity of either?

Yes it can be!!! If two cars on a straight road head directly toward each other at a speed of 60mph (relative to the road), the velocity of one relative to the other is 120mph. This example arbitrarily uses the road as the reference for each car's speed, but there really is no such thing as "absolute velocity" and both cars would have a velocity of about 1000mph relative to the center of the Earth. According to Einstein's principles of "Relativity" all velocity is relative.

How do you find the velocity form the speed of a car?

Velocity means speed and direction. So if you know the speed, all you need to add is the direction of motion and you will have the velocity.


What kind of sensor is to detect the speed of velocity?

If you know the velocity you can find the speed, you don't need a sensor.


Can two cars of equal speed have equal velocities?

Yes. If they are traveling in the same direction and at the same speed, then they have the same velocity.


When you speak of a car traveling at 65 miles per hour you are specifying that cars?

Speed. (NOT velocity.)


How do you find final speed if acceleration time and beginning velocity is given?

(acceleration X time) + beginning velocity = final speed

How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?

Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)
