The measure of an objects speed and direction is the objects?

The measure of an object's speed and direction is the object's velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed (magnitude) and the direction of motion of an object.


Two objects with the same velocity must be moving in the same?

They would be traveling at the same speed. Two objects moving with the same velocity must be moving in the same direction and at the same speed. The reason for this is because velocity is speed in a specified direction. Another way to say that is to say that velocity is speed with a direction vector. It is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction. Two objects moving with the same speed could be moving toward a head-on collision. Or they could be moving along convergent, divergent or skewed paths. Not so with two objects that have identical velocities. They are moving on the same or on parallel courses, and they are moving at the same speed.


Can radar detect accurate speed going opposite direction?

Yes, radar can accurately detect the speed of objects traveling in the opposite direction. Radar measures the speed of objects based on the Doppler shift principle, which is independent of the direction of movement. By analyzing the frequency shift of the radar signal, both the speed and direction of the moving object can be determined.


Do most objects travel in a constant speed?

No, most objects do not travel at a constant speed. Factors such as forces acting upon the object, changes in direction, and external factors can cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction. Objects can also have variable speeds due to changes in energy or motion.


What two things does velocity tell about an objects motion?

Velocity tells us the speed at which an object is moving and the direction in which it is moving.

A force.


What is the difference an objects speed and an objects velocity?

Speed only tells how fast something is going, while velocity tells speed and direction.
