Position is a vector. Therefore, its first derivative with respect to time (velocity), and its second derivative with respect to time (acceleration) are also vectors.

What are the four types of accelaration?

The four types of acceleration are linear acceleration (change in speed along a straight line), angular acceleration (change in rotational speed), radial acceleration (change in direction of velocity), and centripetal acceleration (acceleration toward the center of a circular path).


What is the same between speed and velocity?

In common usage Velocity and Speed are used interchangeably. However, velocity has a specific meaning in the scientific sense.speed is the rate at which you are moving.velocity is the rate at which you are moving in a specific direction.So if two space ships are heading away from the sun in different directions, but with the same speed, these spaceships are said to have a different velocity.Related to velocity is acceleration. Again in common usage it is how fast you are speeding up or slowing down. In science it has a similar meaning but it is the rate of change of velocity.In other words, you can experience acceleration simply by changing you direction of travel, even if you keep the speed constant.


Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?

Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.


How many types of physical quantity?

There are two main types of physical quantities: Scalar quantities, which have only magnitude, and vector quantities, which have both magnitude and direction. Scalars include distance, speed, and temperature, while vectors include velocity, force, and displacement.


What is uniform velocity and how does it differ from other types of motion?

Uniform velocity is when an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed. It differs from other types of motion, such as acceleration or deceleration, because the object's speed remains the same throughout its movement.

What are the types of speed?

Speed and velocity. Speed is when you travel in a straight line, whereas velocity is when there is a change of direction. There is of cause acceleration which is an increase in speed, but even so the above two still apply.

Uniform velocity is when an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed. It differs from other types of motion, such as acceleration or deceleration, because the object's speed remains the same throughout its movement.


How many types of velocity?

Velocity can either increase or decrease. It can do so at either an increasing or decreasing rate (positive or negative acceleration)


Is a force of friction a vector or scaler quantity?

Either, or both. Motion can be described in either vector or scalar terms. Speed is a scalar quantity, having only a magnitude. Velocity is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity.


What is an example problem of speed and velocity?

An example problem involving speed is calculating the average speed of a car that travels 100 miles in 2 hours. An example problem involving velocity is determining the velocity of a ball thrown upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at a height of 40 meters above the ground.


What types of units can describe vector quantities?

Vector quantities can be described using units such as meters, kilometers, newtons, or pounds-force for displacement or force; meters per second or kilometers per hour for velocity; and newtons or pounds-force for acceleration.


Are speeds a types of forces?

no, speed is a scalar quantity. forces is a vector quantity that measures the strength and states the direction. speed tells you how fast an object moves in specific instant. :)


What two types of motions keep a satallite in orbit around earth?

A tangential velocity vector relative to the orbit itself, and acceleration towards the center of the planet due to gravity.
