Why knowing the velocity of an airplane is more important to a traveller than knowing its speeda?

velocity is speed and direction. It would not be good to be traveling at a speed of 500 mph in the wrong direction!


How is crash speed determined when two vehicles are moving in the same direction?

The difference between the two speeds. So if one car is traveling at 60mph and the other is 70mph, it would be a 10mph difference since they are traveling in the same direction. Now, if they were colliding head on, it would be 130mph total speed.Also, 2 cars traveling at exactly the same speed and direction (assuming they start a certain distance apart) will never collide and will maintain that exact distance they started apart.


Why is something accelerating when it is traveling in a circle?

Something is accelerating when it is traveling in a circle because the direction of its velocity is changing.It is important to understand that a velocity not only has a magnitude but it also has a direction. In general, if the magnitude and/or direction of an object's velocity is changing, we say that it is accelerating.Again, if something is traveling and only the direction that it is traveling changes, we still say it is accelerating because the direction that it is traveling is changing.This is the case when something is traveling in a circle at constant speed. If you where to represent its velocity by a vector you would find that while the magnitude of the vector does not change over time, the direction of the vector does. In fact, over a very short period of time, if you where to represent the change in direction of its velocity by a vector, you would find that that "difference vector" points directly toward the center of the circle.Again, this is all a bit confusing because when we generally use the word "accelerate" we mean that something is speeding up. However one just has to get use to the idea that when something is accelerating, it may be that only the direction of its velocity is changing and not necessarily the magnitude of its velocity.To learn more about this go to the related links below.


Why is traveling in a circle at constant speed called acceleration?

Traveling in any direction, but moving is acceleration. if a particle moves in a circle and comes to the initial position, then the velocity would be zero. acceleration is a scalar quantity and not a vector quantity. answered by K.Sreram from India


If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?

Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.-----------If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

If you travel from Arizona to the capital of California in which direction would you go?

From Sacramento to Phoenix is more or less southeast. However, traveling by car you would have to take an L-shaped route: south to Los Angeles and then east from there to Phoenix. There are no direct routes across the intervening mountains.* Note that this question was reversed. See the related question below.
