Velocity is simply the fancy word- more scientific for speed. One speaks, for example of the muzzle velocity of a firearm- actually that of the bullet discharged. Aircraft speedometers- usually called by airmen Air Speed Indicators work on the measurement of the plane"s shock wave and have pitot and static tubes- the shock wave is always proportional to the craft"s velocity. Speeds in Mach factors are relative to the speed of sound- 760MPh at sea level- hence Mach"s constant. At higher altitudes, owing to reduced wind resistance ( less atmosphere to buck, so to speak) it is much lower.

What causes an airplane to change their velocity and direction?
Forces, these forces can be created by the environment or the airplane.
An object in circular motion is constantly acceleratingtrue or false?
True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.
What is the definition of vertical velocity?
Vertical means up and down; so the vertical velocity is an indication of how quickly an object is rising or falling. If the object is moving at an angle (such as an airplane taking off or landing) then it would be more accurate to call it the vertical component of the object's velocity.
Is an object going in circles at a constant speed an accelerated motion?
Yes. Acceleration is the change in velocity, and velocity is a vector, which means it has direction. Because an object undergoing uniform circular motion is changing direction, it is changing velocity, and thus, accelerating.
Why knowing the velocity of an airplane is more important to a traveller than knowing its speeda?
velocity is speed and direction. It would not be good to be traveling at a speed of 500 mph in the wrong direction!
What causes an airplane to change their velocity and direction?
Forces, these forces can be created by the environment or the airplane.
What does it mean if an airplane has constant velocity?
it means that the airplane is staying in motion but will soon crash;)

An airplane flying from New York to Los Angeles is traveling at a velocity of 1400 kph west There is a head wind with a velocity of 20 kph east What is the resultant velocity of the airplane in kph?
1380 kph west
How do you calculate tak-off velocity of airplane?
peak height = (take off velocity^2)/(2*gravity)
What is the velocity of an airplane that travels 500 km in 2 hours and 17 minutes?
The velocity of an airplane that travels 500 km in 2 hours and 17 minutes is 218.97 km per hr.
What year was the airplane made in?
The airplane was made in 1343

What is the terminal velocity of an airplane?
That is it's maximum speed. Different for every aircraft.
Where are airplane parts made?
All over the world. Many airplane parts are made near airports because airplane makers send cargo jets to pick them up. Other parts are made near rail lines.
What type of material is an airplane made of?
It may be made up of aluminium. But in A380, due to its heaviness it is made up of a combination of fibreglass and another material.
How far can an airplane travel in 5 hours if it is traveling at a constant velocity of?
It will fly exactly .
