When cars are changing direction they are also changing what?
They are changing velocity. Velocity is the measure of speed and direction
what is the velocity of light?
The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.
What is the velocity of car light?
The velocity of light coming from a cars lights will be the speed of light C in the substance in front of the lights. It wont be the speed of light+the speed of the car however.
Can two cars of equal speed have equal velocities?
Yes. If they are traveling in the same direction and at the same speed, then they have the same velocity.
When you speak of a car traveling at 65 miles per hour you are specifying that cars?
Speed. (NOT velocity.)
If a car is traveling at a constant speed but is going around a curve what can you say about the cars motion?
The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.
Do Two cars traveling the same speed in opposite directions have the same velocity?
No, because velocity includes direction as well as speed.In order for the velocities to be the same, they would have to go the same speed in the same direction.
How do you spell xlr8tion?
ACCELERATION : in the process of increasing velocity or speed, especially continuously (e.g. gravity, race cars).
Can the relative velocity of two bodies be greater than the absolute velocity of either?
Yes it can be!!! If two cars on a straight road head directly toward each other at a speed of 60mph (relative to the road), the velocity of one relative to the other is 120mph. This example arbitrarily uses the road as the reference for each car's speed, but there really is no such thing as "absolute velocity" and both cars would have a velocity of about 1000mph relative to the center of the Earth. According to Einstein's principles of "Relativity" all velocity is relative.
How do you determine a cars final speed after acelerating for three seconds?
Using the equation of motion v = u + at. v-the final velocity, u - initial velocity a- acceleration and t-the time.
How does the speed of the combined cars compare to the speed of the car before the collision when a parked car is hit by a moving car and the two cars stick together?
The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.
Do two cars with the same velocity have the same speed?
No. V=v0 +at is the formula for velocity, the acceleration 'a' can be the same but the initial velocity v0 may be different. If v0 is the same for the two automobiles , the velocity would be the same.
