Yes. If they are traveling in the same direction and at the same speed, then they have the same velocity.

Do Two cars traveling the same speed in opposite directions have the same velocity?
No, because velocity includes direction as well as speed.In order for the velocities to be the same, they would have to go the same speed in the same direction.
One car travels due to east at 40km per h and a second car travels north at 40km per h are their velocities equal?
No. "Velocity" includes a magnitude and a direction. If any of the two are different, then the velocities are also different.
Is the velocity of one car traveling 40 km per hour east the same as a car traveling 40 km per hour south?
No. The speed is the same, the velocity is not. The term "velocity" includes the indication of the direction. Two velocities are the same if they have the same magnitude (e.g., both are 40 km/hour), AND the same direction.No. The speed is the same, the velocity is not.

Suppose you walk toward a mirror at 2 meters per second How fast do you and your image approach each other The answer is not 2ms?
The previous answer is incorrect. The image in the mirror will be coming toward you, the object, at the same speed that you are going. This means that you simply multiply your speed by two (ie you are adding the two equal velocities together). 2 m/s + 2 m/s = 4 m/s
If a car is traveling north at 100 kilometers per hour and another car is traveling in the opposite direction at the same speed Are their velocities the same?
No. Velocity includes a directional component. If the two were of the same mass and collided head-on, their velocities (being in the reverse directions) would cancel out.
If two gliders of equal mass and equal and opposite initial velocity collide perfectly elastically what are the final velocities of the gliders in terms of the initial velocities?
Both the gliders will be travelling at exactly the same speed as the initial velocity but in opposite directions.
What is the example of a condition when the resultant of two velocities is zero?
Only if the two velocities are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions.
How does the speed of the combined cars compare to the speed of the car before the collision when a parked car is hit by a moving car and the two cars stick together?
The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.
Can two object's have same speed but different velocity?
=== === Since momentum is a vector and not a scalar quantity, to have the same momentum, they must have the same direction. Remember, vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude part of velocity. Since momentum is the product of mass (a scalar) and velocity (a vector) if two objects are moving in different directions, even if they have the same mass and speed, their momentums are different.
Do two co-orbiting bodies have equal velocities?
Sometimes-when there masses are equal.
If two identical cars are traveling at different velocities which car has the greater momentum?
Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity, so if the mass is equal, the one with greater velocity has greater momentum.
Do Two cars traveling the same speed in opposite directions have the same velocity?
No, because velocity includes direction as well as speed.In order for the velocities to be the same, they would have to go the same speed in the same direction.
Two buses depart from Chicago and going to New York and one to San Francisco. Each bus travels at a speed of 30ms. Do these buses have equal velocities explain.?
No the two buses do not have equal velocities because VELOCITY is the SPEED in a given DIRECTION. One would have a velocity of +30m/s because it is traveling in one direction, and the other would have a velocity of -30m/s because it is traveling in the opposite direction.
When two masses collide with each other will they move with equal velocities?
Generally, no.
Can two object have the same speeds but different velocities?
No. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector. If velocities are the same, their magnitudes are the same, which is another way of saying that the speeds are the same.It can work the other way around, however ... same speed but different velocities, meaning same speed in different directions.
Two cars are each traveling at 72 km h one car is traveling northeast and the other is traveling south the two cars have different a velocities b speeds?
a.
What produces a standing wave?
When two waves travel in a medium with the same speed and frequency but opposite velocities.
