When does two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities?

Two objects can travel at the same speed but have different velocities if they are moving in different directions. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, so if the two objects are moving in opposite directions or at different angles relative to a reference point, their velocities will be different.


Why two trains on different tracks do not pass each other with same speed?

If two trains on different tracks are moving at the same speed, they will pass each other. However, if they are moving in opposite directions on parallel tracks, it may appear that they are not passing each other since their relative speed is zero. This is because their velocities relative to each other cancel out.


How do you calculate the relative speed of two trains passing each other?

If two trains are passing each other the relative speed can be found by adding the individual speeds of the two trains. This applies if the trains are passing each other in opposite directions. Should one be passing the other and both be moving in the same direction, the difference of the individual speeds would be the relative speed of the trains.


How does the direction of friction relate to the direction of motion?

The direction of frictional force between two surfaces is always opposite to the direction of motion. Friction opposes the relative motion or attempts to prevent the sliding of two surfaces past each other. If an object is moving to the right, the frictional force will act to the left.


Can you provide some example problems related to Lorentz transformations?

Here are some example problems related to Lorentz transformations: A spaceship is traveling at 0.8c relative to Earth. Calculate the time dilation factor experienced by the astronauts on the spaceship. An observer on Earth sees a moving train pass by at 0.6c. Calculate the length contraction factor experienced by the train as observed by the observer. Two spaceships are moving towards each other at 0.9c and 0.6c, respectively. Calculate the relative velocity between the two spaceships as observed by an observer on Earth.

What is the abbreviation for relative?

relative, opposite of absolute


At a reverse fault what force pushes on rocks from opposite directions?

In a reverse fault, compressional forces push rocks from opposite directions, causing the rocks to move vertically along the fault plane. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to this compressional force.


What is the opposite of locate?

Relative location.


If 2 cars start 100 miles apart drive in a straight line in opposite directions 1 is going 60 mph and 1 is going 45 mph when will they collide?

Never, since they are travelling in opposite directions.. . . but probably not the one the algebra book's authors intended....If you assume that "opposite directions" means the cars are travelling towards each other, their closing speed (i.e. relative speed) is 105 mph. That means they'll meet in 100/105 hours, or slightly more than 57 minutes.


Where rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in opposite directions orin the same direction at a different rate of speed?

This process of rocks moving in opposite directions on opposite sides of a fault is known as strike-slip faulting. The movement can be either left-lateral (sinistral) or right-lateral (dextral), depending on the relative lateral displacement of the blocks. If the rocks move in the same direction but at different rates, it may indicate differential movement caused by friction variations along the fault plane.


Relative and absoute location have in common?

They are both used to find directions.


What do you think will give a greater damage a car hitting another moving car or car car hitting a steady car?

The amount of damage relates to the relative motion of the two cars. So, if the cars are moving in opposite directions when they collide, the relative motion and the resulting damage is greater; if they are moving in the same direction, then the relative motion and the resulting damage is less. A motionless car is intermediate between a car moving in the same direction and a car moving in an opposite direction.


What is absolute and relative measurement?

absolute is exactly where it is on the globe and relative is like your telling someone directions like goergia is east of alabama.

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes speed and direction, so if the two objects are moving in opposite directions or at different angles relative to a reference point, their velocities will be different.


What is the opposite of relative location?

The opposite of relative location is absolute location. Absolute location refers to the exact coordinates (latitude and longitude) of a place on the Earth's surface, providing a precise location independent of other reference points.


Damage is more when two bodies collide from opposite directions than when they collide at any other angle.Is it due to the momentum of the objects or their relative velocities?

The increased damage when two bodies collide head-on is due to the momentum of the objects, which is the product of their mass and velocity. When two bodies collide from opposite directions, their momentums add up, resulting in a greater force of impact compared to collisions at other angles where momentums may partially cancel out.


Why two trains on different tracks do not pass each other with same speed?

If two trains on different tracks are moving at the same speed, they will pass each other. However, if they are moving in opposite directions on parallel tracks, it may appear that they are not passing each other since their relative speed is zero. This is because their velocities relative to each other cancel out.
