Why the particle is not moving toward negative x-direction?
Why the partical is not moving toward negative x-direction?
What is the difference between magnitude and the direction of a objects velocity?
Velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude tells you how fast it is moving (speed) and direction tells you which way it is moving. For example car traveling at 60 mph due East has a sped of 60 mph and direction East. The combination of speed and direction is velocity.
Why can velocity be negative or positive?
Yes, "velocity" is a vector so it not only has magnitude but also direction. By convention, an object moving from left-to-right or upward is moving in a positive direction while an object moving right-to-left or downward is moving in a negative direction. "Speed" is a related term but it is a scalar. As such, it has only magnitude. A speed cannot be negative.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.
Can an object change its direction when the magnitude of its velocity is zero?
If the velocity is zero, the object is not moving. So if it moves at all, it is changing direction.
How are vectors useful to moving objects?
they have both direction and magnitude. They can go in one direction and thus have a magnitude in that direction... uh yeah
What is the magnitude of a force of 117.4 moving upward and another force of 74.1 moving downward?
the magnitude is 43.3 and the direction is upward.
Why the particle is not moving toward negative x-direction?
Why the partical is not moving toward negative x-direction?
What includes both the speed of an the direction it is moving?
A Vector quantity accounts for both magnitude and direction.

What happens when an air particle pushes against another air particle?
The air particle with the greater force moves the other air particle in the general direction it was moving
Does velocity ony desribe the direction un which an object is moving?
It gives the magnitude too
What is the direction of acceleration when moving in a circle?
The direction of the acceleration is towards the center. The magnitude of the acceleration is v2/r.
What is the speed of an object moving on a particular direction?
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.
Can an object change its direction when the magnitude of its velocity is zero?
If the velocity is zero, the object is not moving. So if it moves at all, it is changing direction.
