The unit of speed for both a car and a runner is the same, such as miles per hour or kilometers per hour, because speed is a measurement of distance traveled over a set amount of time. It provides a standardized way to compare how quickly objects move regardless of their size or mode of transportation.

What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?

When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.


How can opposite words like fast and slow be the same speed?

Opposite words like "fast" and "slow" can refer to the same speed in a relative sense. For example, a car moving at 50 mph might be considered "fast" compared to a runner, but "slow" compared to a racing car. The perception of speed is subjective and depends on the context in which it is being compared.


How the Doppler effect is used by the police to measure the speed of a car.?

Police use radar technology to measure the speed of a car by sending out a radio wave towards the vehicle. The radio wave bounces off the car and returns to the radar unit. The Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency of the returning wave, allowing the radar unit to calculate the speed of the car based on this frequency shift.


A truck and a car are traveling down the highway at the same speed If the truck has a greater mass than the car how do their kinetic energies compare?

The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and speed. Since the truck has a greater mass than the car but they are traveling at the same speed, the truck will have more kinetic energy than the car.


A passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to?

The passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to the car itself. This is because the passenger and the car are both moving together at the same speed in the same direction, so from the perspective of the car, the passenger appears to be at rest.

No


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.


Is police radar accurate when he is traveling toward you?

Yes. The radar calculating unit is reading more than one speed. It reads the patrol car speed from stationary objects (the ground, signs, etc.) and subtracts that speed from the speed at which your car and his car are coming together. If the patrol car is doing 38 and you are doing 55, the radar unit will read 38 from the ground and 93 from your car. It subtracts the 38 from the 93 and displays your speed as 55.

What is the speed of someone running 40 yards in 4 seconds?

Their speed is ten yards per second.Takamo added: There are several variables with in this question. We have to determine how fast a person can cover 40 yards. In this case, it's 4 seconds. To determine the actual speed, as in Miles Per Hour, (MPH) we have to use a known constant. Say, a car going 60 MPH. We all know that a car going 60 MPH is traveling at one mile per minute. There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 5280 feet in a mile, so by dividing the 5280 feetby 60 seconds, we find that the car is traveling at a velocity of 88 FPS(feet per second).A human can run, in this case, 40 yards in 4 seconds. There is 120 feet in 40 yards, so the runner moves at a velocity of 30 FPS. To match the un-known, (the MPH of the runner) and compare it to a known MPH, (the car) we divide the FPS of the car by the FPS of the runner and we get 2.6. This is the variable between them, in that the same distance, the car is traveling 2.6 times faster than the runner. Knowing the speed of the car, 60 MPH, and knowing now, how much faster its going than the runner, we simply divide the MPH of the car, 60MPH by 2.6 and we get the runner's land speed of of 23.07 MPH.


How fast do cars go in India?

The same speed they go in any other country. The speed limit may be different but the speed a car sold in India is for the most part the same as the same car sold in the U.S. That assumes they have the same engine.


What is the speed of a car going at 1mph in SI unit?
