What else can I help you with?
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 happens when velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction?
When velocity and acceleration are not in the same direction, the object's speed may be changing. If the acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions, the object will slow down. If they are at right angles to each other, the object will change direction without changing speed.
Can an object have a constant speed and a varying velocity?
Yes, an object can have a constant speed but varying velocity if it changes direction while moving at that speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed but changing direction, then its velocity is constantly changing even though its speed remains the same.
What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?
When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.
How can an object be accelerating while traveling at the same speed?
An object can be accelerating while traveling at the same speed if the direction of its velocity is changing. Even if the speed remains constant, if the object is changing its direction of motion, it is still considered to be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, which includes changes in both speed and direction.
When do speed and velocity become equal?
Speed and velocity become equal when an object is moving in a straight line without changing direction or when it is moving at a constant speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so if the direction of motion is constant, speed and velocity will be the same.
When an object is accelerating its speed is?
You want me to say that the speed of an accelerating object is changing (or increasing), but I won't say it because it isn't necessarily so. The speed of the object may be constant even though it is undergoing acceleration. Acceleration means that velocity is changing. Velocity involves direction as well as speed. Acceleration may change the direction without changing the speed. Would you like an example ? The moon is revolving around the earth once a month in an orbit that is very nearly the shape of a circle. Assume for a moment that the moon's orbit really is a perfect circle. Then its speed is the same at every point in its monthly trip around the earth, never changing. But the direction of its motion is constantly changing, in order to remain on the circle. Since the direction is changing, this is acceleration, even though the moon's speed is constant.
Describe a situation in which an object accelerates without changing speed?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so velocity must always be changing if the object is accelerating. HOWEVER, you said speed which means only magnitude, not direction. If you stay the same speed, but change direction then you are accelerating. Simple answer: when you are going the same speed in a circle - velocity changes, therefore acceleration changes.
Can an object have a varying speed it its velocity is constant?
Of course, since velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity, velocity has something speed does not: direction. Thus, an object can travel at the same speed by has a changing direction of movement, and therefore a changing velocity. For instance, a ball on a string moving in a circle at the same speed is constantly changing its velocity, which results in its path of motion.Yes. Velocity is (speed and direction of motion). If direction changes, then velocitychanges, even if speed is constant.Examples:-- Car going around a curve at a constant speed has changing velocity.-- Anything traveling a circular path at a constant speed has changing velocity.
When can an object a constant speed but not a constant velocity?
If the velocity is constant there is no acceleration. Speed is not velocity, velocity has speed and direction. I A car going around a circular track at 60 mph keeps the same speed but changes direction and thus accelerates at a constant speed. Velocity is speed in a certain direction. So change the speed but keep direction the same and you change the velocity. or Change the direction while keeping the speed the same and you change the velocity. If the speed is constant, any change of direction is a change in velocity. Driving around in a circle is a case of constantly changing direction.
What is that noise you hear when you turn a corner?
Your tires reacting to a different speed and changing direction at the same time
What does constant velocity or acceleration mean?
"Constant" means that regardless of when you measure it, the result is always the same. "Velocity" means speed and its direction. "Acceleration" means the rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.
