A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.

What is the nature of velocity time graph for uniform retardation?

The velocity-time graph for uniform retardation is a straight line with a negative slope. The velocity decreases uniformly over time until it reaches zero. The area under the graph represents the displacement of the object.


What will be the nature of position - time graph for uniform motion?

For uniform motion, the position-time graph will be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating a constant velocity.


What could be the nature of the path of a moving body if its velocity and acceleration be always directed along the path?

It will move faster and still faster along the path. However, it will require an infinite force accelerating it and since such a force cannot exist, there is no possibility of such an event happening.


If a storm is moving at 15 kmhr what is needed for the velocity?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To find the velocity of the storm, you simply need to know the direction it's moving in. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed (15 km/hr in this case) and direction. So, if you know the direction, you can describe the storm's velocity fully. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, understanding the full picture can help you appreciate the beauty of nature's creations.


Seepage velocity and discharge velocity?

Discharge Velocity is obtained by Dividing the Total Discharge by the total cross Sectional Area , Where Total cross sectional area Consists of void+solid. In contrast .. Seepage Velocity is defined as the total discharge by the Area of voids only. So Seepage velocity always greater than Discharge Velocity.

If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?

A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.


What are the nature of the distance time graphs for uniform and non unifrm motion of an object?

A distance-time graph for an object moving at a constant velocity will be a straight line - the gradient of the line corresponds to the velocity. Non-uniform motion will cause the gradient of the line to change.

What does a horizontal line on velocity vs time graph represent?

A horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph represents constant velocity. This means that the object is moving at a steady speed without accelerating or decelerating. The height of the line indicates the magnitude of the velocity, while the horizontal nature indicates that this velocity remains unchanged over time.


What determines the nature of path followed by the particle?

Velocity

What is the nature of the distance time graph for non uniform motion of an object?

The distance-time graph for non-uniform motion of an object will not be a straight line, as the object's speed is changing. It may have curved sections or varying slopes to represent the changing speed of the object at different points in time. The graph may be irregular or have multiple segments to illustrate the object's varying velocity.
