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.

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.
You are in a car going 70 kmh and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 kmh. do both cars have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. If the velocity of your car was heading in the positive direction, then the other car is moving in the negative direction. The velocities are NOT the same!
What is the opposite of direction of east?
The opposite direction of east is west. Didn't you know that already?
Explain what is the negative sign in hook's law mean?
It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.
Which direction is opposite north?
Usually, south is the opposite of north.
Do Two cars traveling the same speed in opposite directions have the same velocity?

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.
How are velocities in the same direction combined?
As the velocities are in the same direction then addition of vectors becomes so easy. We simply add the magnitudes of the velocities. If velocities go exactly opposite, then we get the difference of their magnitudes. If velocity vectors get inclined, then we use the parallelogram law of vectors to get the resultant.
Do white lines separate traffic traveling in opposite direction?
yes
White lines separate traffic traveling in opposite directions?
yes
If an object has two velocities are going in opposite directions would the overall velocity of the object be positive or negative?
It's positive in the direction of the greater one, and negative in the direction of the smaller one.
What happens if Something is traveling at constant deceleration?
It slows to a rest and then starts moving in the opposite direction at constant acceleration in that direction.
What is the resultant velocity if the kph for west is 1400 and the velocity for east is 20 kph?
Because the two velocities are in the opposite directions, you can directly subtract their numeric values. (1400 - 20) kph in the larger velocities direction. The answer is 1380 kph West.
What do you do when many velocities are acting on an object in the same direction and in opposite directions?
It all goes in one place. it as 25 m/s DF FBGM<3
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.
Is it true or false that White lines separated traffic traveling in opposite direction?
That is false. At least in America. Solid yellow lines are the means to separate traffic traveling in an opposite direction. A solid white line marks the outside edge of your lane, or the outside edge of the lane traveling in your direction. Meaning you'll either go into the shoulder, or off the road entirely, if you go over the solid white line.
You are in a car going 70 kmh and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 kmh. do both cars have the same velocity?
No. Velocity is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. If the velocity of your car was heading in the positive direction, then the other car is moving in the negative direction. The velocities are NOT the same!
