A velocity vector would include both a speed and direction.

Wind (air) resistance will affect the speed component, slowing down the arrow as time passes.

Gravity will pull it downward at a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. This means that the downward component of the velocity will increase with time.

Wind, of course, could also throw the arrow off course.

A vehicle travels 2345m in 315 s toward the evening sun what is its velocity?

The velocity of the vehicle can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken, which gives 7.44 m/s. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction, so be sure to specify if the vehicle's motion is eastward or westward.


All objects change velocity as they move toward earth do to which factor of gravity?

All objects change velocity as they move toward Earth due to the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of attraction between two objects with mass, causing objects to accelerate towards each other. This acceleration increases the velocity of the object as it falls towards Earth.


A cyclist goes around a level circular track at constant speed. Is the cyclist's acceleration zero because her speed is constant?

No. The cyclist is moving at a constant speed, but her velocity is changing. Remember that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. As speed is constant, only direction is changing. But a change in direction is a change in velocity (even if speed is constant), and this requires acceleration in that direction to accomplish the change in direction. You're on the right track, but just recall that acceleration is tied to velocity and not just speed. And note that velocity can change all the time without speed changing. Acceleration must cause the change in velocity. Consider that objects in orbit around the earth move at a pretty constant speed, but accelerate toward the earth all the time. Their speed coupled with their acceleration toward earth cause them to move in an arc - which is their orbital path.


What happens to the velocity when an object is accelerated?

A moving object being accelerated will show a change in its velocity (it may move faster, or slower, or experience a change in direction). A stationary object will respond to acceleration only if there is no other force acting to prevent its response. For example: gravity is a constant force of acceleration, but objects cannot move toward the center of the earth if they are being blocked by another object.


An airplane travels at 150 km per h toward the northeast what is the northern component of its velocity?

The northern component of the velocity can be found by multiplying the velocity by the cosine of the angle it makes with the north direction. Since the airplane is moving northeast, which is 45 degrees from north, the northern component velocity would be 150 km/h * cos(45°) ≈ 106 km/h.

How when something travels in a circle its always accelerating?

When an object travels in a circle, it is constantly changing direction, which means its velocity is also changing, even if its speed remains constant. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, and since velocity includes both speed and direction, any change in direction constitutes acceleration. This continuous change in direction toward the center of the circle is what is known as centripetal acceleration. Therefore, an object in circular motion is always accelerating due to this constant change in direction.


If two trains are 2000 miles apart on the some track one travels east at a velocity of 150 mph the other travels west at a velocity of 100 mph how long will it take for them to meet?

The closing velocity is speed1 plus speed2, so the trains are moving toward each other at 250 mph. 2000/250 = 8. The trains will meet in 8 hours.

How does one refer to the organ or structure toward which the effects of a hormone are directed?

Target organ can be defined as the organ or structure toward which the effects of a hormone are primarily directed. The target organ's activity levels demonstrate change in the course of biofeedback.

An earthworm crawled 35millimeters directly toward a rock at a constant velocity. It took the earthworm 2.5seconds to crawl that far. What was the earthworm's velocity?

14 millimeters per second Explanation; The velocity of an object is the distance it travels divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, the earthworm crawled 35 millimeters in 2.5 seconds, so its velocity was ( 350/2.5) = 14 millimeters per second.
