How can you calculate the resulant velcity of two velocities in the same direction?

By adding the two velocities.


How do you combine velocities in the same direction and different direction?

By vector addition


How are velocities in the same direction combined?

As the velocities are in the same direction then addition of vectors becomes so easy. We simply add the magnitudes of the velocities. If velocities go exactly opposite, then we get the difference of their magnitudes. If velocity vectors get inclined, then we use the parallelogram law of vectors to get the resultant.


You are in a car going 70 kmh and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 kmh. do both cars have the same velocity?

No. Velocity is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. If the velocity of your car was heading in the positive direction, then the other car is moving in the negative direction. The velocities are NOT the same!


What do you do when many velocities are acting on an object in the same direction?

protect it & Get out of the way. :-)


Is the velocity of one car traveling 40 km per hour east the same as a car traveling 40 km per hour south?

No. The speed is the same, the velocity is not. The term "velocity" includes the indication of the direction. Two velocities are the same if they have the same magnitude (e.g., both are 40 km/hour), AND the same direction.No. The speed is the same, the velocity is not.

How would you calculate the result velocity of two velocities in the same direction?

If they're exactly in the same direction, then the resultant is also in the same direction, and its magnitude is equal to the sum of the two individual magnitudes.


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.


Is 2 vehicles having different speed but same distance have same velocities?

No. Same velocity means same speed and same direction.


What does a diagram of two objects with the same speed but a different velocities look like?

The diagram you are asking for looks like two lines, with the same length, but pointing in two different directions. The difference in direction is what would show the different velocity. So imagine one line going down, one like going right, same length, but directions, so they would be different velocities.


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.


Are acceleration and speed always in the same direction?

No. Acceleration only affects velocity in one particular direction (same direction as acceleration). Speed is the summation of velocities in all directions.
