"Delta" anything is scientific shorthand for "the change in". Delta-vee is the change in an object's velocity.

Does an object that is moving in a linear path with an acceleration in the direction opposite to the motion have a decreasing velocity?

No. Acceleration is Delta-Velocity / Delta-Time. If Acceleration is negative then that means that either Delta Velocity is negative or Delta Time is negative---which is not practical. For Acceleartion to be negative, that means the Velocity has to Decrease. (where Delta Velocity is change in Velocity or V2 - V1)


What two things do you need to find an objects velocity?

To find an object's velocity, you need to know its displacement (change in position) and the time it took for that displacement to occur. Velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement by the time taken.


Explain Why a change in velocity effects acceleration?

It doesn't "affect" it. Acceleration is DEFINED as (delta v) / (delta t), or change in velocity divided by the time elapsed; so whenever you have a delta-v, you'll have an acceleration (the amount of which also depends on the time elapsed).


What is delta velocity?

Delta (Greek capital D...looks like an isoceles triangle) means the change in....whatever. Delta T is (T2-T1) Delta V is (V2-V1), etc. this would be the answer to your question if you're in school... if you're an engineer the answer would be: Deltav is a DCS[Distributed Control System offered by Emerson Inc...] it is used in the automation industry the latest version is the deltav 10.3 for further information visit: http://www.easydeltav.com/


What equation shows the relationship among velocity time and acceleration?

The equation that describes the relationship among velocity, time, and acceleration is v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. This equation is known as the first equation of motion in physics.

A body is moving with uniform velocity what will be its accelerationshow?

Acceleration is (delta velocity) / (delta time), that is, change in velocity per time unit. In this case, since the velocity doesn't change, the acceleration is zero.


What acceleration is the rate at which what changes over time?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity - in symbols, a = dv/dt. Or for average acceleration over a finite time: a(average) = delta v / delta twhere delta v is the change in velocity, and delta t is the time interval.


What is another word for change scientifically?

Alteration, variation? (: Delta (Greek letter - triangle) stands for change. eg. Change in velocity = delta Velocity. Change in time = delta t.

What equations describe centripetal acceleration?

You can do the following. Make a diagram to illustrate the initial velocity at a certain position, and the velocity after a short time, delta-t. Calculate the change of velocity (delta-v) during that time. Divide delta-v by delta-x to get the acceleration. Finally, calculate the limit as delta-t tends toward zero - that is, figure out what happens when delta-t gets smaller and smaller.

In enquations imvolving velocity the traiangle symbol means?

In equations involving velocity, the triangle symbol typically represents the Greek letter "delta," which signifies a change in the given quantity. So, when you see the triangle symbol in a velocity equation, it usually denotes a change in velocity or acceleration.


What does Delta Tau Delta mean?

What equation can you use to find acceleration?

Acceleration equals the change in the velocity divided by time. The change in the velocity is found by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity. It is written as "a equals delta v over t."


How does gps track speed?

The receiver knows your position (latitude, longitude, and elevation) and time. It measures that information periodically. Knowing your delta position and delta time, it simply computes your velocity. (Delta position divided by delta time)
