When you combine 2 velocities going in opposite directions how is the resultant velocity found?
To find the resultant velocity when combining two velocities going in opposite directions, you simply subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity. The direction of the resultant velocity will be in the direction of the larger velocity.
How the velocity of an escalator that is going up different from the velocity of one that is going down at the same speed?
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. Two objects moving at the same speed but in opposite directions will have opposite velocities. If the velocity of the elevator going up is v, the velocity of the elevator going down will be -v.
When you combine two velocities going in opposite directions how is the resultant velocity found?
The resultant velocity is found by subtracting the smaller velocity from the larger one if they are in opposite directions. This is because the velocities are working against each other to some degree, resulting in a net velocity that is the difference between the two.
One object has a velocity of -4 feet per second another has 3 feet per second which is greater?
The object with the velocity of -4 feet per second is going faster than the other, but in the opposite direction, hence the minus sign.
If an object has two velocities are going in opposite directions would the overall velocity of the object be positive or negative?
It's positive in the direction of the greater one, and negative in the direction of the smaller one.
Why can velocity be positive or negitave?
Velocity can be a positive or a negative because velocity is a vector, which means it is also affected by direction. This that if one car is going +10 m/s and another is travelling at -10 m/s, this means that they are travelling the same speed in opposite directions.
What is the velocity of a helicopter traveling 6 feet per second?
Its speed is 6 feet per second. Its velocity is 6 feet per second in whatever direction it's going.
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
How did guy going 60 miles per hour pass 3 cars going 70 miles per hour?
Uh...they were going in opposite directions?
What is indicated by a velocity time graph that crosses the x axis?
That the object whose velocity is being graphed has reversed direction (and is now going in the opposite direction). Velocity is a vector quantity: it has both magnitude and direction.
White lines separate traffic traveling in opposite directions?
yes
Do both cars have the same velocity if they are going in different directions at seventy miles per hour?
No, they don't. Velocity is a vector - made up of both a magnitude (number), and a direction. If any of the two changes, the velocity is not the same. If you are interested only in the magnitude, you talk about "speed", not "velocity".
