Can vectors be added to each other?

Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.


Equation for time as a function of distance and velocity?

Since distance (D) equals velocity (V) xtime (T) (D = V x T), then time equals distance divided by velocity or T = D/V. For example, going 20 miles per hour for 2 hours will move a distance of 40 miles. Looking at it the other way, 40 miles divided by 20 miles per hour will equal 2 hours of travel time. PJ


Can you explain a independent variable?

Independent variables do not depend on any other. Like when you count something with time, the time is independent. If you measure the elevation of a road with distance, the distance is independent.


What does directed number mean in math?

It is usually a vector and is a number which has a direction associated with it. Velocity is an example of a directed number. The velocity of an object is not only its speed (distance/time) but also the direction of travel. Acceleration, force are other common vectors.


How do you find velocity with a known time and distance?

Velocity equal distance divided by time. For example, an object that traveled 5 metes in 10 seconds had a velocity of 5/10 meters per second which is .5 meters per second. Velocity is speed in a direction. Sometimes a navigate or positive number is sufficient as the direction. Other times you will need to be more specific, such as .5 meters per second East or 1.3 meters per second 30 degrees East of North.

Explain the circumstances when the acceleration and the velocity of car are parallel?

when velocity of a car is increasing then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.


Is velocity and energy related?

Any object that has velocity has a type of energy known as kinetic energy - i.e., energy of movement. However, there are other types of energy that are not directly related to velocity.


What is the formula for computing velocity?

The general formula for calculating speed or velocity is given by :- v = s / t [ s divided by t] where v : velocity s : displacement/distance t : time s (displacement) is actually change in the distance, but it can be generalized as just distance traveled. units include : meter, kilometer, miles and other sub types(centimeter, inch) t is the time taken for the object to move the above mentioned distance. units : seconds, hours and other related measures of time. eg : if an object was moved by 15 meters in 3 seconds, its velocity v is given by: v = 15/3 = 5 meters/second or m/s


How velocity modulation and density modulation related to each other?

due to velocity modulation density modulation occurs in TWT


What is the unit of velocity ratio?

How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?

-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes


How do you find initial velocity if final velocity or distance is not present?

you cannot. you need to know one or the other if you're doing a problem where someone is throwing something in the air, the final velocity is 0


Are time and distance directly proportional to each other?

Time and distance traveled are directly proportional only if the velocity of the object in question is constant.


How do you find velocity of a paper airplane?

Paper airplane's velocity can be measured as any other object can be determined by measuring its displacement over time. In other words, time the glide and measure the distance. Then divide the distance by the elapsed time to get the average velocity of the flight.


Explain the circumstances in which the velocity and acceleration of the body is parallel?

the acceleration of the car is increasind.Then the v and a are parallel to each other.


Compare and contrast acceleration and velocity?

-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.


How is speed related to time and distance?

Speed, distance and time are related to each other because, speed is directly comparable to distance when time is constant.
