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.

Do two skaters traveling in different directions at the same speed have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.
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.
Two cars leave the gas station in opposite directions one is traveling 50miles per hour and the other is traveling 45miles per hour how many hours will they be 380 miles apart?
If they are traveling in opposite directions, then they are traveling away from each other at a speed of 95 miles per hour. 380/95=4 They have been traveling for four hours.
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
What is the velocity of a plane traveling nothwest at 610 mph?
Velocity is the rate of speed in a given direction. Therefore, the plane's velocity is 610mph NW.
How the velocity of an escalator that is going up different from the velocity of one that is going down at the same speed?
Speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. Two objects moving at the same speed but in opposite directions will have opposite velocities. If the velocity of the elevator going up is v, the velocity of the elevator going down will be -v.
Do two skaters traveling in different directions at the same speed have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is the combination of a speed and its direction. In order fortwo objects to have the same velocity, they must be moving at the samespeed, and in the same direction.
When does two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities?
When they travel in different directions, obviously, since velocity is made up of a speed and a direction.
Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
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.
What is the net force on the different cars of a subway train that is traveling at constant velocity?
If anything is traveling at constant velocity, then the net force acting on it must be zero.+++Strictly, it is travelling at constant speed, not velocity, because you have not specified the directions of the train and the retarding forces acting on it.
Two cars leave the gas station in opposite directions one is traveling 50miles per hour and the other is traveling 45miles per hour how many hours will they be 380 miles apart?
If they are traveling in opposite directions, then they are traveling away from each other at a speed of 95 miles per hour. 380/95=4 They have been traveling for four hours.
What is the Difference between velocity and average speed?
speed is a scalar quantity ie it has no directions...........whereas velocity is a vector quantity ie it has directions...................Also speed has distance n velocity has displacement
If two cars are traveling at the same time constant speed but in opposite directions explain how position vs time graph and the velocity vs time graph would be different?
Assuming position is measured between the cars and not their starting points?With constant speed the Distance over time graph would have a 1:1 slope or 45 degree angle.While the Velocity (which is constant) over time would be be a horizontal flat line.
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
