That's going to depend on the directions of each of the two initial velocities.

It's also going to depend on who measured the initial velocities, where he

was standing, how he was moving, and with respect to what else, etc.

When two coins of mass 2 kg and 4 kg respectively collide what will be the change in velocity if initial velocity is 0?

If initial velocity is zero, the collision seems unlikely.


How do you define distance?

Distance is a measure of separation of bodies in space. It is also the separation of two places on the surface of a body.


How to find the change in velocity in a given scenario?

To find the change in velocity in a given scenario, subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity. The change in velocity is the difference between the two velocities.


How do you find the initial velocity just with the accelaration final velocity and time?

To find acceleration, you take Vi [Initial Velocity] and you subtract if from Vf [Final Velocity.] (Vi - Vf) If they Vi and Vf are already given, you take the two givens and you subtract them from each other. Vi minus Vf. Do not do Vf minus Vi or it will be wrong. After you do that, you divide your answer from T [Time] (Vi - Vf) a= _____ t Once you get your answer, that will be your acceleration.


State in words how acceleration is calculated?

There are two methods, it depends on what variables you have: 1. Subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that whole term by the time (Vf- Vi)/t = a 2. Square both the initial velocity and the final velocity and subtract the squared inital velocity from the squared final velocity and that answer by two times the distance (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/2d = a


If your initial velocity was 10 ms-1 right and your final velocity was 5 ms-1 left what is your change in velocity?

The change in velocity is 15 m/s left.

What is instant centers?

An "instant center" (IC) is a point that instantaneously has the same velocity in two bodies.


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 find the distance given only the initial velocity traveled time and final velocity?

You can only know the distance for sure if acceleration or deceleration is constant. Add the start and end velocities and divide by two and then multiply by the time to get your distance.


What is the meaning of formula for resultant velocity?

There are several layers of complexity to resultant velocity of a colision based on the assumptions used. In a cohessive colision, two or more bodies colide and fuse into one. The resultant velocity is the speed and direction the new body will travel due to the momentum of the original bodies. In a non-cohessive colision, two or more bodies colide, but subsequently rebound away from each other based on the area of contact and momentum of the relevant bodies. The resultant velocities are the speed, direction, and rotation the bodies after the crash.
