No. V=v0 +at is the formula for velocity, the acceleration 'a' can be the same but the initial velocity v0 may be different. If v0 is the same for the two automobiles , the velocity would be the same.

Do two cars with the same velocity have the same speed?

No. V=v0 +at is the formula for velocity, the acceleration 'a' can be the same but the initial velocity v0 may be different. If v0 is the same for the two automobiles , the velocity would be the same.


What type of graph is best suited for comparing the acceleration of automobiles?

For comparing the acceleration of automobiles, a velocity vs. time graph is most efficient, where time is the x value, and velocity the y value. The greater the acceleration of the automobile, the steeper the slope of its respective plotted line.


What Two car's both start from rest and have the same constant acceleration When radar is used to measure the velocity of each car car A is found to be moving twice as fast as car B At the instant?

If two objects start from rest and have the same constant acceleration, their velocity and displacement from the starting point will always be the same. Acceleration is distance per time squared. It has nothing to do with the size or mass of the car. Unless, of course, their initial directions were different. Then it is possible for their perceived velocity to be different.


If an object has zero acceleration what two things could be true about its velocity?

The velocity does not change direction or magnitude. The object 1) may not be moving, or it 2) may be moving at a constant velocity. In the case of the latter, that means it's moving in the same direction and at a constant speed.


What is the expression for average acceleration?

Acceleration = Change in velocity divided by the change in time. This formula only works if velocity is constant. If velocity is not constant, find the acceleration for both points in time. Then add the two accelerations and divide by 2.

Can two direction of velocity of an object change when acceleration is constant?

An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.

Is acceleration always in the same direction as the unbalanced force?

No, acceleration is change in velocity. (And velocity is speed in a certain direction.) If an object slows down, then it is changing velocity and thus accelerating. (In this case, the acceleration is negative.) If an object changes direction, then it's velocity changes, so this is also acceleration. (This is centripetal acceleration.)

What two forces can affect an objects velocity?

Two forces that can affect an object's velocity are acceleration and friction. Acceleration can increase or decrease the velocity of an object, while friction can slow down the object's motion by opposing its direction of movement.


What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?

zero - it is constat velocity. so acceleration is zero50 m/s2 Another : The acceleration is ZERO. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.
