When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?

No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.


Two physical quantities used to describe the motion of an object?

Some of the more basic measurements of an object we can take are time and position (or distance). From these values we can calculate things (like speed and direction) that we use to describe its motion.


How do you find velocity given only mass and speed?

You can't, because you don't have enough information. In order to find velocity, you need to be able to find the speed and the direction of motion. You have the speed, but you have no information that you can use to determine the direction in which the object is moving. Mass doesn't help.


What is inertia how does it affect the way an object moves?

inertia is defined as the tendency of an object to continue in its state of rest/motion/direction. if u try to get down a running bus, your body was actually in motion with speed=the speed of bus. so it does not stop immediately u need to run for a while otherwise u will fall. this is inertia of motion.


What state do you called an object with a net force of 0?

The object is in constant, uniform motion. It's moving in a straight line, and at a constant speed ... which may be zero but doesn't need to be.


How do you find the velocity form the speed of a car?

Velocity means speed and direction. So if you know the speed, all you need to add is the direction of motion and you will have the velocity.


When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the distance the object has traveled?

No. For you to know the distance you need to know the time the object has been travelling and a function describing the speed of the object for the time it has been travelling. A direction is not required. correct but you missed direction can affect speed as climbing altitude would get slowed by gravity


Is a rose bush and object in motion?

no not really but it for shure does need a motion to this you know like a motion.


How do you find the height of an object with only the initial speed?

You would need some more information.


How is mass related to motion?

If you take distance to mean displacement, which is the the absolute distance between an original point and another point in a Cartesian coordinate system, then velocity is the displacement of some object divided by the time interval while the object is being displaced.


Can your remove the motion blur in need for speed the run?

no


When you know both the speed and direction of an object while it is in motion do you know the average speed of the object?

The average speed is the speed, regardless of the direction.ANSWER:No. You don't. In order to find average speed, you need other variables, either time or distance to calculate an average speed. You might only see a train going up a steep slope at 15 mph everyday and think that's the slowest train in the world. Not knowing that on the other side of the hill it reaches 90 mph on the downslope.
