What is a decrease in the magnitude of velocity called?
It is called deceleration or slowing down.
Is it possible for the speed to increase at the same time the velocity decreases?
Velocity being a vector, it is tricky to say that "velocity increases or decreases". Its magnitude might decrease - but its magnitude is, precisely, the speed.
What is Scalar Velocity?
Velocity is a vector , which it means it has both magnitude and direction. Scalars have only magnitude. The magnitude of a velocity vector is usually called speed . Although I have never heard it called by that name, scalar velocity is speed.
What is an increase in the magnitude of velocity called?
It is called acceleration.
An increase of the magnitude of velocity is called?
It is called acceleration.
What is An increase in the magnitude in velocity?
It is called acceleration.
What is an increase in the magnitude of velocity?
It is called acceleration.
What is the increase in the magnitude of velocity?
It is called acceleration.
What is the magnitude of velocity?
what is magnitude of average velocity
What is the rate in change of velocity called?
The increase in velocity is called acceleration and an decrease is called deceleration.
What is the decrease of speed called in physics?
Any change of velocity, including a decrease of speed, is described and measured as acceleration. Assuming the velocity and acceleration vectors point in the same direction, then in the case of decreasing speed, the magnitude of the acceleration is a negative value. Negative acceleration is often called deceleration, but that is just a special case of acceleration.
What is the difference from speed and velocity?
Velocity has a DIRECTION as well as a MAGNITUDE (that is, velocity is a VECTOR quantity if you've learnt that term yet) The magnitude of velocity is called SPEED (just a POSITIVE number/scalar, not a vector)
