How are spped velocity direction and acceleration the same?
acceleration=ratio of change in velocity in a specific direction to time. speed=ratio of distance to time.
Can an object have a constant spped and velocity at the same time?
Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude. It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.
What are factors that affect an object's kinetic energy?
The factors affecting kinetic energy are mass and velocity.
Why velocity is not constant if satellite travels with constant spped at a fixed elevatiopn?
Speed is a scalar quantity meaning it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector meaning it has magnitude and direction. Whilst the satellite's speed is constant its direction is constantly changing. If its direction didn't change it would fly off in a straight line. Since its direction is changing, the velocity must be changing. And also since the velocity is changing, the satellite is also accelerating (towards the centre of the earth).
How can you spped up heartbeat?
Go running stupid.
What is the instrument that mesures wind spped called?
anemometer
What word refers to the spped of object moving through th air?
mach
How fast can a albino polar bear run?
naround the spped of 22 mph
What is The rate at which velocity is changing?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. When velocity is decreasing, sometimes the word "deceleration" is used instead. Acceleration and deceleration describe generally how velocity can change. Keep in mind that things can get a little more complicated than just speeding up or slowing down. For example, in an elevator going up, you can feel increased G force resulting from acceleration upward, and you can also feel increased G force if the elevator is in free-fall and it decelerates.Acceleration is mathematically described as:a = dv/dtwhere dv is the change in velocity over a specific period dt.The rate at which velocity changes is either acceleration or deceleration, and it is expressed by: a = Δv/t acceleration = change in velocity / time takena = F/m acceleration = resultant force / massHowever, since velocity is a vector quantity (it has both value and direction), acceleration also is a rate at which direction changes when velocity is constantThe rate of change in velocity is known as acceleration.
When a gas changes into a liquid do the molecules spped up or slow down?
They slow down
What is the spped of a meteoroid traveling east at 183 km per second while descending at a rate of 115 km per second?
183 KPS. Speed is considered straight line forward motion. When a second vector is introduced such as the rate of descent the combined speed and RoD produces a vector velocity.
Are mini coopers fast?
You wouldn't want to take on on the Indianpolis Speedway, but they can do a respectable spped on the highway.
