What else can I help you with?
Why can velocity be negative or positive?
Yes, "velocity" is a vector so it not only has magnitude but also direction. By convention, an object moving from left-to-right or upward is moving in a positive direction while an object moving right-to-left or downward is moving in a negative direction. "Speed" is a related term but it is a scalar. As such, it has only magnitude. A speed cannot be negative.
Which term means to move backwards or in the opposite direction?
The term is "retract." It means to move something back or withdraw it in the opposite direction.
What is an object describes the speed and direction in which it is going?
Velocity is the term that describes the speed and direction in which an object is moving. It is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction.
How is valocity different from speed?
That would be "velocity", not "valocity". In physics, the term "velocity" is used when the direction is considered relevant; a "speed" is only the amount, without specifying a direction. (In everyday speech, the two terms are often used interchangeably.)
What is any change in the speed or direction of a moving object?
This is one definition of acceleration (including deceleration) - any change in the speed of motion of a moving object, or in the direction of its motion. Motion is a vector value with both speed and direction.
What is vector and resultant velocity?
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.
What is the English term of kabo?
"Kabo" can mean "forward" in English. It is a term often used in sports or military contexts to indicate moving or advancing in a particular direction.
Is it true or false that velocity only describes the direction in which the object is moving?
Technically, the term velocity means how fast and in what direction is a given object moving; knowing the velocity is certainly part of calculating how long it takes to get from one place to another, but you also have to know how far apart those places are. If two locations are 100 miles apart, and you can drive that distance at 50 miles per hour, then the trip takes two hours.
What is the scientific term for magnetizing something?
The scientific term for magnetizing something is "ferromagnetism." This occurs when the magnetic dipoles within a material align in the same direction, creating a net magnetic field.
What is the name for a steady speed?
The term for a steady speed is constant velocity, which means an object is moving at a consistent rate without changing its direction.
Why do you need to calculate velocity instead of speed?
Speed and Velocity are two different things . Velocity- "the rate at which an object changes its position." Speed- "How fast an object is moving". To calculate speed and velocity, you first need to calculate distance and time. Velocity is considered to be a more logical term
What is the speed of an object but in a specific drection?
The speed of an object in a specific direction is referred to as velocity. It is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of motion. Velocity indicates how fast an object is moving and in which direction.
