If the speed of a car traveling south is increasing 5 ms it and its acceleration is?

If the speed of a car traveling south is increasing at 5 m/s, then its acceleration is 5 m/s². This acceleration indicates the rate at which the car's velocity is changing per unit time.


When you are describing the rate that a race car goes around a track should you use the term speed or velocity to describe the motion?

Since velocity is speed with direction, you would use speed in reference to average rate of change of position, since the direction keeps changing. You can use velocity in reference to instantaneous speed, since a car is going in a specific direction at each instant in time.Examples:80 km/h is a speed.80 km/h due north is a velocity.


What are two of the ways that the velocity of a car can change?

The velocity of a car can change by increasing its speed, such as accelerating when pressing the gas pedal, or by decreasing its speed, such as decelerating when applying the brakes.


What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?

If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.


How is it possible for a car to be accelerating if its speed is a steady 65 mph?

The term accelerating means increasing in speed, so if a car holds its speed steady at 65 mph, it is not accelerating. It is still running its engine, to overcome air resistance and other forms of friction, but that is not the same thing as acceleration.

When A cars distance-time graph is a straight line with a steep slope. how would you describe the car's speed?

It is travelling in such a way that its distance from the origin is increasing at a constant rate. The car's speed need not be constant because its direction of travel could be changing.


Describe a car's instantaneous speed as it stops for a red light?

When a car stops, its instantaneous speed becomes zero.

What is the speed of a car?

the speed is a unit of measure used to describe the rate of movement. As in the car went 35 mph while it drove down the street.


Does a car accelerate as it moves?

Yes, during any period of increasing or decreasing speed it is accelerating.

What control on a car can cause a change in velocity at constant speed?

The steering wheel can change the car's direction of motion, without changing speed.


What is the term 'clown car' used to describe?

"Clown Car" is used to describe a car commonly used by a Clown as a prop - a tiny, miniature car that the clown rides on. The car is usually yellow in color, and sometimes has a horn which the clown presses on.
