What two things does velocity tell about an objects motion?

speed and direction


What does the speed and directiion of and object motion tell us?

The speed and direction of an object is its velocity.


What is true of Newtons first law the law of inertia?

Unless acted on by an unbalanced force, an object will maintain a constant velocity


Does velocity have to be represented by north east etc?

If you call it "velocity" then you have to tell what direction it points.If you only tell how fast it is but you don't tell the direction, then it's "speed", not velocity.


What do speed and velocity have in common?

If the graph represents the national debt from 1935 to 1950, then it hasnothing whatsoever in common with the velocity of anything.If, however, the graph represents the position of a moving object as time passes, thenthe slope of the graph is numerically equal to the magnitude of the object's velocity,which is also its speed.A graph typically tells nothing about the direction of the object's motion. It it's specificallydrawn to indicate the azimuth (bearing) of the motion at each instant of time, then itsslope is the time derivative of the velocity's direction. I don't know any special catchyterm for that quantity.


How can I tell when two objects have the same velocity on a position graph?

If the position is graphed vs time, then the slope (rate of change of position with respect to time) will be the same (parallel).


Does a velocity graph tell you where to start?

No. It will tell you WHEN but not where.


What would be the shape of a displacement versus time graph for an object?

the displacement mean the shortest distance between two points. the shape of displacement where the objects move and its also help us to tell the shape of displacement with the use of graph.


How can you tell an object has moved?

Because of its velocity (velocity is the rate of change of position), an object will move. An object is stationary if it has no velocity because it will not be able to move without velocity. Therefore, you can tell that an object has moved because of velocity.


How do you let her know you want her?

You call her, ask her to hang out. Do nice things for her, compliment her. Share things (objects) with her; candy bar, etc. Tell her!


How can you figure out velocity?

You check out the speed and direction, and times them together, and it will tell you the velocity of the object.


What measurements or observations tell you that a car is accelerating?

Frame of reference is the measurement or observation that tells you that a car is accelerating. It uses the second law of motion to tell you rather or not the car is accelerating.
