Which describes the average velocity of a bicycle going at a constant speed in a constant direction?

Every time the unicycle returns to its starting point, the average velocity equals zero. C. The total displacement divided by the time.


An object has initial velocity in the upward direction a final velocity in the downward direction and undergoes constant acceleration What can you say about its average acceleration?

The average acceleration of the object will be negative since it changes direction from upward to downward velocity. The acceleration will be constant because the object undergoes constant acceleration throughout the motion.


Does average velocity have a direction associated with it?

The term "velocity", as used in physics, DOES have an associated direction. Most derived terms, such as "average velocity", also do.

Which describe the average velocity f a bicycle going constant speed in a constant direction?

The average velocity of a bicycle going at a constant speed in a constant direction is equal to the speed of the bicycle. It is a vector quantity that indicates the displacement covered by the bicycle in a given time period, taking into account both the distance and the direction.


How is velocity different from average speeed?

Velocity is speed and its direction. Average velocity is average speed and its direction.


What is the formula of velocity?

There are several definitions. not just one. Average velocity in a direction = Average displacement (distance) in that direction/time Instantaneous velocity in a direction = derivative of displacement in that direction with respect to time Average velocity in a direction = Initial velocity in that direction + Average acceleration in that direction * time Instantaneous velocity in a direction = Definite integral of acceleration in that direction with respect to time, with initial velocity at t = 0 Then there are others in which time is eliminated.


What is the direction of average acceleration?

Average acceleration points in the same direction as the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is increasing, the average acceleration will be in the same direction as the velocity. If the velocity is decreasing, the average acceleration will be in the opposite direction.


Why does a car traveling at constant speed can accelerate while a car at constant velocity connot?

The question is inherantly flawed. A car traveling at a constant speed cannot accelerate, if it could it's speed would not be constant. "Constant speed" means that speed is not increasing or decreasing but remain consistent over time. For example, if you cover 10 feet during each second, your speed is constant. "Constant velocity" implies constant speed, but it has an additional constraint: you can't change your direction. If you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a straight line, then your speed is constant and your velocity is constant. But if you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a wiggly line (or a circle, or anything not straight), then your speed is constant but your velocity is NOT constant. If you travel at a constant speed but change direction, velocity is changed. Or if you travel in the same direction but change the speed, velocity is changed. Average speed is is easier: distance/time So, your question should read: Why can a car traveling at an average speed accelerate, but a car traveling at constant speed cannot? Or Why am I asking the wrong questions?


Is instantaneous velocity a vector or a scalar?

Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It describes the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction at a given moment in time.


When is the average velocity is equal to the instantaneous velocity?

Average velocity equals the average speed if (and only if) the motion is in the same direction. If not, the average speed, being the average of the absolute value of the velocity, will be larger.
