To state velocity of an object, you must know the object's speed and direction. Velocity is a vector quantity meaning the direction is always a component of the stated value.

The mass of the object.


What do you need in order to know an objects velocity?

You need to know the distance traveled and the time it took to travel that distance.


What two things do you need to find an objects velocity?

Change in position and change in time velocity= delta displacement/delta time


What kind of sensor is to detect the speed of velocity?

If you know the velocity you can find the speed, you don't need a sensor.


What do you need to know other then speed to determine an objects velocity?

The direction in which it's moving. This is a very important concept, and a great question.


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.


What is the objects acceleration from 0 to 1 second?

Acceleration is the change in velocity over a time period. Since you need to know the change in velocity to calculate acceleration, the question being asked is not answerable.


What do you need to know to find and object's velocity?

Velocity means speed and direction. For example you could say that a car's velocity was 60 miles per hour northwards.


How do you find initial velocity if final velocity or distance is not present?

you cannot. you need to know one or the other if you're doing a problem where someone is throwing something in the air, the final velocity is 0


It can be important to know the velocity of an object not just its speed because?

We distinguish between speed and velocity because if you add the speedsof objects, their directions are important. For example, the velocity of an airplane with ...


Do Two objects of different masses freely fall with same momentum?

No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.


. ok v velocity a acceleration but what about you?

if by 'you', you mean 'u' then u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity. you need to know the initial velocity in trajectory question (motion of an object through the air) to find height, acceleration, time etc.
