Changing the initial position on a position vs time graph has no effect on the velocity vs time graph. Velocity is the derivative of position. This means velocity only depends on the rate of change (slope) of position. Changing the initial position of an object has no effect on the slope. Mathematically, this is equivalent to adding a constant to a function. Since the derivative of a constant is always 0, a change in initial position has no impact on the derivative. Here is an example.

Say we have the position functions x(t)= 4+9t and y(t)= 27+9t.

then the velocity function of x would be x'(t)=v(t)= 9

And the velocity function of y would be Y'(t)=v(t)= 9

What is the effect on accelerationif we decreasing velocity?

If velocity is decreasing, acceleration is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity. If the velocity is decreasing at a constant rate, the acceleration is negative, causing deceleration. If the velocity is decreasing while changing direction, the acceleration may be a combination of negative and positive components.


What is the effect of gravity on velocity?

Gravity affects velocity by changing the acceleration of an object. As an object falls, gravity accelerates it, increasing its velocity. Without gravity, an object would move at a constant velocity.


What forces have a negative effect on velocity just list them?

There are two problems with this question.The less obvious one is: What do you mean by "a negative effect" on velocity ?ANY force that acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the velocity willcause the magnitude of velocity to decrease, which in itself is pretty negative.If the force continues to act long enough, it will eventually cause the velocityto reverse its direction, which is about the most negative effect you can haveon velocity.


How does velocity effect momentum?

Velocity is a vector quantity representing the rate of change of an object's position, while momentum is a vector quantity representing the quantity of motion an object has. The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its velocity. This means that as the velocity of an object increases, so does its momentum.


Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?

No, horizontal velocity does not affect the rate of vertical velocity. Each component of velocity (horizontal and vertical) is independent of the other. They act separately to determine the motion of an object.

Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?

Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)

How does mass effect velocity?

It doesn't. But velocity does effect mass : as velocity increases, mass increases.

If a card effect prevents a card from changing its battle position can another effect change it?

In general, a restriction on changing a monster's battle position only applies to manual position changes, by the player. So If you took control of a monster with Creature Swap, you cannot manually change the battle position that turn. However that does not apply to other effects, they can be used to change the battle position. So Book of Moon would put it into face-down defence position as normal.

Does an increase in velocity or an increase in mass have a greater effect on momentum?

An increase in velocity has a greater effect on momentum than an increase in mass. This is because momentum is directly proportional to velocity, while mass only has an indirect effect on momentum through its influence on velocity.


What special effect can a trombone play?

it can play both low and high notes which others cannot and it can move freely from position to position making a fall type of sound or an endless but changing sound.


What effect will moving a piece of plastic through a loop of wire have?

If the plastic is too close to one side of the loop, there is the possibility of cutting the wire. This occurrence depends on the size and composition of the wire, as well as the shape, composition, and relative velocity of the plastic, so is not a certainty. Other than that, and the fact that the final position of the plastic is on the side of the loop opposite to its initial position, there is no predictable effect.
