If you plotted the original path and velocity, and the path and velocity of the 'impacting' force, then the third leg of the triangle will be the resultant path and velocity.
Velocity is a speed in a very specific direction.
When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.
The sum of all the velocity vectors.
The sum of all the velocity vectors.
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
Velocity=displacement(distance)/time.
Resultant force.
A vector is used to represent direction and magnitude of speed. Velocity is the speed of an object and a specification of its direction of motion. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both how fast and in what direction the object is moving. Therefore a vector can be used to represent a velocity. The term "resultant velocity" implies a change in velocity which can be determined using vector analysis.
When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.
"addition and subtraction"Resultant velocity refers to the sum of all vectors in an equation. The two math functions that are used to calculate the resultant velocity are addition and subtraction.
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time
