Velocity is a vector which incorporates both speed (a scalar) and direction. So the speed (distance divided by time) must increase if the velocity increases as the direction (an angular measurement) does not affect the absolute value of the vector.

What is an increase in velocity called?

an increase in speed - velocity is another word for speed


When acceleration and velocity are in the same direction the speed will?

In that case, the speed will increase.


What 2 vectors increase speed?

Increasing the magnitude of velocity or changing the direction of velocity towards the movement direction of the object can increase speed.


Is it possible for the speed to increase at the same time the velocity decreases?

Yes, it is possible for speed to increase while velocity decreases if the direction of velocity changes. For example, if an object is moving in a circle, its velocity (speed and direction) changes constantly while its speed can increase or decrease depending on the acceleration.


What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?

For a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration, the car's velocity needs to be increasing in the same direction as its acceleration. This means that the car is speeding up. When the velocity and acceleration have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the car's speed will increase.


Why velocity of flow will decrease with increase in peripheral speed of francis turbine?

the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine


What is a change that indicates the acceleration of an object?

An increase in speed or velocity.


How are acceleration and speed alike?

They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.


Does temperature increase with increase in velocity?

No, temperature does not increase directly with velocity. Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system, whereas velocity is a specific measure of the speed and direction of an object's movement. While an increase in velocity can lead to an increase in kinetic energy, it does not necessarily result in a direct increase in temperature.


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.


How does aircraft drag increase with speed?

Drag increases by the square of velocity increase, for example, tripling speed increases drag by a factor of nine!


How do you increase the kinetic energy of a skateboard?

Since kinetic energy depends on mass and speed, you can increase either of these.
