Velocity parallel to earths surface?

The velocity parallel to Earth's surface can vary depending on the location and purpose. For a person walking or running on Earth's surface, the velocity can range from 0 m/s to a few meters per second. However, for objects in Earth's orbit, the velocity parallel to the surface can be much higher, reaching several kilometers per second.


True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?

False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.


What is verlocity parallel to the earht's surface called?

Velocity (not verlocity) parallel to the earth's (not earht's) surface is called the horizontal component of the velocity.


What is a line parallel to the earths surface?

That would be latitude or longitude.


What is velocity parallel to Earth's surface?

The velocity parallel to Earth's surface depends on the frame of reference. Relative to Earth's surface, the velocity is zero if an object is at rest, and it varies depending on the direction and speed of the object's movement. If we consider the rotation of the Earth, objects on the surface have an eastward velocity due to the planet's rotation.


The longest parallel on the earths surface is the?

Equator is the longest parallel on the Earth's surface. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is located at 0 degrees latitude.


Explain the circumstances when the acceleration and the velocity of car are parallel?

when velocity of a car is increasing then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.


What is parallel in geography?

In geography, "parallel" usually refers to lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. These lines help in locating places on Earth's surface in relation to the equator. They are used to measure distances north or south of the equator.


Explain the circumstances in which the velocity and acceleration of the body is parallel?

The velocity and acceleration of a body are parallel when the body is moving along a straight path with a constant speed. In this case, the velocity is constant, and since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, it is zero. Therefore, both the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel and pointing in the same direction.


What percent of the earths surface is the US?

100


When is velocity parallel to acceleration?

Velocity is parallel to acceleration when an object is moving with constant speed in a straight line, as the direction of the velocity and acceleration vectors are aligned. This means that the object's speed may be constant, but its direction can change.


Is there any point along the path of projectile where velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other?

Using the term "trajectory" implies that the acceleration you are concerned about is due to gravity. Gravity will always be perpendicular to the surface. Unless the trajectory begins perpendicular to the surface, it will never change to become perpendicular and the velocity will never be in a direction parallel to the acceleration. If it starts perpendicular to the surface it will start and remain perpendicular. Of course if you have another force acting on the object - such as wind - the component of the velocity vector parallel to the ground could be reduced to zero and at that point the only remaining component of the velocity vector would be that perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the acceleration. Likewise if the object is being propelled by an engine or rocket, the trajectory could be parallel to the force any time the acceleration vector became parallel to the velocity vector.
