What is the difference between relative velocity and absolute velocity?

One pretty important difference is that relative velocity exists and absolute velocity doesn't. Velocity is always measured and described relative to something. There's no such thing as the "real speed" of a moving object. In fact, according to a scientist who's riding on the object, it's not moving at all. (Close your eyes right now and feel the earth move ?)


A boat whose velocity through the water is 14 kmh is moving in a river whose current is 6 kmin relative to the riverbed The velocity of the boat relative to the riverbed must be between?

When both source and listener move in the same direction with a velocity equal to half the velocity of sound the change in frequency of the sound as detected by the listener is?

If there is no relative velocity between source and listener, there will be no change in frequency.


Why is there a twist in a propeller blade?

to keep the angle under which propeller section sees the relative velocity. Because, a propeller essentially is a wing which rotates around an axis parallel to the flight velocity. wings operate best at a certain angle of attack, which is an angle at which wing 'sees' the flow. now, propellers rotate and tangential velocity increases from root to tip. airflow velocity is obviously constant. tangent of angle between relative velocity and prop section is air velocity / tangential velocity. we want angle between propeller section and relative velocity to constant, since tangent changes from root to tip , we need to change angle of propeller section itself.


What is difference with the concentration of phosphate buffer?

The relative difference in velocity between two acid concentrations is independent of the temperature.


What are the differences between displacement and velocity?

Displacement describes the distance between two points in space, and the direction of this distance relative to either of the two points. Velocity describes the rate of motion, per unit time, for any instant during the travel between these two points. ie. How fast an object traveled. Velocity must also describe the direction of travel relative to either of the two points.
