How the x and y coordinates are related to the direction an object moves explain?

They are related becasue they descibe a point on the coordinate. The X coordinate determine if the direction is east or west. If it is in negatives, the point is west and if in the positives, it is in the east. The Y coordinates determine if a point is north or south. If it is in the negatives, the point is south and if it is in the positives, the point is in the north. For example if the X coordinate is 5 and the y coordinate is -15, the point would be 5 degrees east and 15 degrees south. I hope this helped.

What are curvillinear coordinates?
Curvilinear coordinate systems are a means of describing an object/point's position based on angle and distance from the origin. For example, polar coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R2 (2D space). Spherical coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R3 (3D space) If you need to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates
What is velosity?
Velocity is the speed and direction of an object in motion .
Where is the shadow at 8 am?
In the direction opposite to that of the sun. It will be approximately West of the object but the exact direction will depend on the latitude and season.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
Why are three dimensional shapes called that?
Short Answer: There are 3 coordinates which are needed to describe any point on the shape. Longer Answer: Think of the dimension being a direction an object can be described in, whether negative or positive. A 1-D (one dimension) object only needs one number to describe its location. Using the coordinate system most people know (Cartesian) lets call this direction x.On a 1-D object your location out be (x). With a 2-D object you now are adding a y coordinate to the x coordinate. To describe where you are on a 2-D object you need both the x and y coordinate. Your location would be (x,y) 3-D adds yet another coordinate to the mix: z. Now to describe position in 3-D space you need all three coordinates (x,y,z). To describe a 3-D shape you will also need all three coordinates. This is the reason that 3-D shapes are called 3-D shapes, because of the need for the x, y, and z components needed to describe any point on the shape.
How are x and y coordinates related to the direction an object moves?
by reading each # ps i don't know if im right dont belive me !!
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an object's motion?
Friction force works against the motion of the object. In other words friction force has the opponent direction of the velocity of the object.
Explain Can there be forces acting on an object if the object is a rest?
Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.
How is motion related to velocity?
If an object is in motion it has a Velocity, which is speed and direction.
How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?
It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.
Is direction the course in which an object is moving?
No it isn't. Motion means something moving.Direction has to be established for there to be a change in it. An object that moves forward, stops, and then moves forward again experiences motion without a change in direction. An object that moves forward, stops, and then moves to the right experiences both motion and a change in direction.
Explain the difference between velocity and speed?
they are different words with the same meaning.
How is a change in an object's direction related to the applied force?
In order to change direction, the applied force (represented as a Vector) must change DIRECTION. A change in magnitude of the Force is not necessary.
Direction as the of the object?
The noun 'direction' can function as the object of a verb and as the object of a preposition.Example sentences:I saw the direction that the thief ran. (direct object of the verb 'saw')He received the award for direction of the movie. (object of the preposition 'for')
An object will accelerate in the direction of what?
An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on that object.
What do we call an objects resistance in speed or direction?
The resistance to a change in velocity is called "inertia". It is related to the mass of an object.
How can an object change it direction?
Some force is applied to the object in any direction not the same as the present direction.
