Is vector the same as velocity?

No. A vector is any measurement where a direction is relevant. Velocity is one such measure, but there are others, unrelated to velocity (for instance, force).

What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?

The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.


When we subtract a velocity vector from another velocity vector the result is?

The result of subtracting one velocity vector from another velocity vector is a new velocity vector. This new vector represents the difference in speed and direction between the two original velocity vectors.


Is momentum a vector or scalar quantity?

Momentum is a vector quantity. We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and velocity has direction. That makes velocity a vector quantity. And the product of a scalar quantity and a vector quantity is a vector quantity.


What measures both speed and direction at the same time?

A vector quantity measures both speed and direction at the same time. Velocity is an example of a vector quantity, as it includes both the magnitude (speed) and the direction of an object's motion.


How would momentum be considered a vector?

Momentum is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. In physics, momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and its direction is always the same as the direction of the velocity of the object. As a result, momentum is treated as a vector with both magnitude (the amount of momentum) and direction.


Is momentum a vector?

Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.


What is the angel when vector a is same as vector b and there resultant is same as given vector a and b?

If vector a and b are truly identical, their resultant angle will be the same. Their resultant velocity will not be the same, however. Assuming you mean the magnitudes are the same, the two vectors will be at an angle of 120o


If an object is speeding up to the right what direction does its velocity vector point?

The velocity vector of an object that is speeding up to the right points in the same direction, to the right. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction, so as the object accelerates, the velocity vector will align with the direction of motion.


Is moment a vector or a scalar?

A vector. Since velocity is a vector, moment, which is mass x velocity, is also a vector.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity and you want to change it's momentum you would change it's?

The answer is velocity.


Why angular velocity is vector quantity?

Because it's a type of velocity and velocity is vector quantity


What is formula of momentum?

The units are KgMs- why? Velocity is a vector Quantity and mass is a scalar quantity.
