well as we know that velocity is a vector hence it has magnitude as well as direction. Let us assign sign conventions for direction of velocities in this example: Let eastward velocity be positive and westward be taken as negative. Initial Velocity:-20 Final Velocity:+5 CHange in velocity=Final velocity-Initial Valocity Change in Velocity=5-(-20)=25m/s So change in velocity will be 25m/s

If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20meters per seconds what is the net external force acting on it?

If the car is moving at a constant velocity, the net external force acting on it is zero. This is because the forces acting on the car (such as friction and air resistance) are balanced by the force applied by the engine to maintain the constant speed and direction.


Does a car traveling along a curved path at constant speed have a constant momentum?

Yes, a car traveling along a curved path at constant speed does not have constant velocity since velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction. However, the magnitude of the car's momentum (which is the product of mass and velocity) can remain constant if there are no external forces acting on it.


What would the net force be on an object moving at constant velocity?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero


If we are told that an object has a constant velocity what can we say about the force on that object?

If an object is moving with constant velocity, then the net force acting on it is zero. This means that the forces acting on the object are balanced, resulting in no acceleration and a constant velocity.


What are the condition for an object stay at rest keep moving at constant velocity?

An object will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero and there is no external force to change its velocity.

What is the net force on the different cars of a subway train that is traveling at constant velocity?

If anything is traveling at constant velocity, then the net force acting on it must be zero.+++Strictly, it is travelling at constant speed, not velocity, because you have not specified the directions of the train and the retarding forces acting on it.

If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


What is the net force acting if your professor's car is traveling west with a constant velocity of 55 mi-hr west on a straight highway?

If the velocity of the object is constant, then the net force on it is zero.(Incidentally, if the velocity of the car is constant and not zero, then it must be ona straight highway. If the highway curved and the car's velocity didn't change, thenit would run off of the road.)

Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?

It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)

If a cart is observed moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal frictionless track is there a constant net force acting on it in the direction of motion?

No force is acting on it. Constant velocity means no acceleration, which means no force, from f=ma, no 'a' no force.


What can you assume if an object has a constant velocity?

The net force acting on it is zero.


What is the net force acting on a car cruising at a constant velocity of 70 kmh on a level road?

If the velocity is constant (no acceleration), the net force is zero.


What are the condition for an object stay at rest keep moving at constant velocity?

An object will remain at rest if the net force acting on it is zero. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero and there is no external force to change its velocity.
