The Sun is not really moving from that point of view, the reason the Sun appears to move when you're in a car is because the Earth and Sun are both extremely massive, with the latter being many thousands of times larger and to their size a car on the ground is a speck of sand. The Sun is also almost 93,000,000 miles away... Technically the Sun is moving but not at a rate humans can notice unaided.

Can the average velocity of a car and average speed be the same?

Yes, if the car moves in only one direction.


If a car moves with a constant speed does it also moves with a constant velocity?

Not necessarily.Speed is a scalar measurement that only measures magnitude.Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector measurement and adds the important distinction of a direction.A car rounding a curve may be going the same speed, but its velocity is constantly changing throughout the curve because its direction keeps changing.


If A car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity?

Not necessarily. Constant velocity also means no change in direction.


Which object has a constant speed?

a car traveling the speed limit


Why do tires seem to whirl in opposite direction when car moves fast?

Optical illusion.


When one bumper car hits another how does the reaction force effect the first car?

the car moves in the direction opposite of the action force


What part of a force does work when the direction of the force and the direction of motion are not the same?

Force only takes place in the direction of the motion. It cannot be any other way. It could be argued that the action of a cars tyres on the road applies to your question. The car moves forward while the tyres push the earth in the opposite direction. However the tyres are the motion supplying the force and not the car moving in the opposite direction..


The speedometer of a car moving to the east reads 100km per hr and it passes another car that moves to the west at 100km per hr so do both cars have the same velocity please explain?

Velocity is direction and speed so the vehicle do not have the same velocity


What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?

When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.


If the speed of your car reads 40 km - Hr can you say the car has a constant velocity?

Yes, if you are also going in the same direction the entire time.


What happens when the fan rotates backwards?

Air moves in opposite direction and if it's on a car-it will overheat


Why is the flight from Tokyo to Chicago shorter?

Because when you fly from chicago to tokyo, you fly with the movement of the earth, and when flying back to chicago, you fly against it. It's like trying to catch up with a car in front of you: it moves in the same direction, so it takes longer for you to catch up with it than when it moves in the opposite direction.
