A car tarvels a highway at 55 miles per hour Its speed is while its acceleration is?
If its speed is constant, its acceleration is nil.
If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same what happens to the wavelength?
The wavelength stays constant.
Traveling down a highway a car changed velocity while its speed remained constant.what would have caused this to happen?
This may have been the result of steering the car around a curve in the road while maintaining constant speed.
One car travels 40 kmhr faster than another While one travels 150 km the other goes 350 km Find the speed of the slower car?
30 km/hr
How you know the average speed?
take different speed while you travels... then add it.... Divide it with number of speed taken.... eg: ( 60km\h 62km\h 69km\h 63km\h ..... then (60+62+69+63)/4 )
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?
A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerating while traveling at a constant speed?
If you turn your vehicle in another direction, even at a constant speed, you will experience acceleration (sideways) because the vector direction has changed through the application of force.
How can you accelerate when your speed does not?
By changing direction. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Since velocity takes direction into account, while speed does not, an object can having a changing velocity even while its speed remains the same. And while that object is changing its velocity by changing its direction, it is accelerating, regardless of its speed remaining constant. For example, if a car is driving north at constant speed of 20mph, its speed is 20mph, while its velocity is 20mph towards the north. At this point, the car is not accelerating. Now if the car turns a corner to head east while maintaining its speed of 20mph, its velocity is changing from 20mph northward to 20mph north-eastward and finally to 20mph eastward. As it is turning, it is accelerating. However, as soon as it stops turning, the car is no longer accelerating.
Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular structureis the ball accelerating?
If it's going at a constant speed then it is not accelerating. To accelerate would mean to have a rate of change for speed in some direction. If the ball is going outward while traveling at a constant speed due to centrifugal force then it is accelerating. If it's going inwards due to some ground angle then it is also accelerating. From Newton's laws we know that to have a circular motion, an object must be subject to a force directed to the centre of the structure and is accelerating in that direction. This centrifugal force, exerted by the structure to the ball, is opposite in direction and magnitude to the 'fictitious' centrifugal force.
Is a car balanced or unbalanced when turninng while moving at a constant speed?
The forces acting on the car are unbalanced because it is accelerating by changing direction, even though it has constant speed. Unbalanced forces cause acceleration (change in motion). That is what Newton's first law of motion is about.
How do you know a moving object's acceleration?
Acceleration is the change in velocity. Velocity is the change in speed or direction. Therefore, acceleration is changing the change in speed or direction. So if you are going at 50mph and then you are going at 55mph and then at 60mph, your acceleration is constant at 5 mph. if the change in accleartion is changing, then it is not constant. If you turn dirctions even while you move at a constant velocity, you are accelerating.
Can a body have a constant speed and still be accelerating?
Yes, unlike velocity which is a vector and has both magnitude and direction, speed is a scalar and lacks a fixed direction. Therefore you can have constant speed in a circular motion and a centrally directed acceleration which is equal too a=v2/r where v in this case would be speed not velocity. Any body that is constantly changing direction can have constant speed while being accelerated. The change in direction need not by circular, or uniform in any way.
A projectile shot straight forward at the edge of a cliff will?
It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.
A projectile shot straight forward at the edge of the cliff will?
It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.
Which example describes constant acceleration due only to a change in direction?
In physics, acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of the rate (or speed) and direction of an object. Therefore, an object is "accelerating" when it changes direction while maintaining the same rate (or speed).
Why does you not feel the tremendous speed of the earth while it is rotating and revolving around the sun?
Its because all of these movements are constant, they are not accelerating or slowing down. We only feel a force when there is acceleration or decelleration. If you accelerate in a car, you are pushed back into your seat as the force effects you and everything in the vehicle. But at constant speed in a straight line, you can move about normally, as if you were at a standstill.
