When can an object a constant speed but not a constant velocity?
If the velocity is constant there is no acceleration. Speed is not velocity, velocity has speed and direction. I A car going around a circular track at 60 mph keeps the same speed but changes direction and thus accelerates at a constant speed. Velocity is speed in a certain direction. So change the speed but keep direction the same and you change the velocity. or Change the direction while keeping the speed the same and you change the velocity. If the speed is constant, any change of direction is a change in velocity. Driving around in a circle is a case of constantly changing direction.
Is extension a scalar or vector quantity?
Scalar quantity has only magnitude , but no direction while vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.You can understand it by comparing speed and velocity.Velocity has magnitude of speed in a particular direction (or say displacement/time take) while speed only defines the rate of distance covered (no direction). If you are still unable to get your answer for your question then please, elaborate or give some description of extension. -Ajlan Wasfi Khan
Which direction describes vessels that lead toward an organ?
afferent
The direction towards the shoulder is known as?
Going up the arm from the wrist toward the shoulder is the proximal direction. It describes the direction in which the appendage attaches to the torso.
Is wind speed and direction biotic or abiotic?
.
Does velocity describes the speed and direction of an object?
Velocity only describes the speed. Vector describes both speed and direction. That entails trigonometry.
Velocity describes both?
speed and direction
Velocity describes both speed and?
direction
Does velocity only describes the direction in which an objects moving?
No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.
What describes the direction and speed of an object?
Velocity describes the speed and direction of an object.velocityvelocity
How is veloctionrelatedto both speed and direction?
Speed descibes the rate of motion of an object. Velocity describes rate of motion (speed) of an objectin a specific direction. For example - the car's speed was 60mph, the car's velocity was west at 60mph.
What describes an objects speed and its direction?
Velocity.
Does velocity depends on both speed and direction?
Yes. Velocity depends on both speed and direction.
Does mph describe speed or velocity?
by itself it is speed; if associated with a direction it is velocity
What describes acceleration?
Any change of speed or direction of motion.
What describes an object and speed and direction?
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
Why is velocity a vector quantity?
Velocity refers to both speed and direction. A vector refers to both magnitude (the speed in this case) and a direction. Speed without reference to a direction is a scalar, a magnitude without direction.
