^velocity*
Consider an object that is travelling south at 10m/s. It accelerates north until it is travelling 10m/s. If we define south as negative, then it accelerates from -10m/s to 10m/s.
-10 < 0 < 10, hence, it is travelling at 0m/s at some point.

How far does an object travel if its velocity is 25.5 meters per second north and it travels 85 seconds?
Distance = Velocity*Time = 25.5*85 metres = 2167.5 metres.
What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 100kilometers North in 2 hours?
The average velocity during that period of time is 100 kilometers per 2 hours north. It may also be stated as 50 kilometers per hour north.
What is the velocity of an airplane that travels 500 km in 2 hours and 17 minutes?
The velocity of an airplane that travels 500 km in 2 hours and 17 minutes is 218.97 km per hr.
If an object travels 66 inches per minute how many feet does it travel per minute?
5.5 feet per minute.
What is the linear speed of the tip of the second hand of a watch with a length of 15 mm?
The second hand moves 1/60th of a full rotation per second, this is equivalent to 2π/60 radians per second this is known as the objects angular velocity. the equation linking linear velocity and angular velocity is v=rω where v=linear velocity, ω=angular velocity and r=radius and so we must substitute our values in. v=(15/1000)(π/30)=0.00157 m/s which is 1.57mm/s. notice instead of just putting 15 for the radius, i did 15/1000 in order to change it from millimetres to metres, this gave me the linear velocity in m/s.
What does it mean for an object to accelerate at 10 mss use an examble?
Acceleration is the rate at the speed or velocity of a body increases per unit time. An object that accelerate at 10 mss means the rate at which it's velocity is changing per unit second is 10m/s. For instance, an object accelerating at 10 mss for 3 second will have a velocity of 30m/s.
Can an object have a zero velocity and a nonzero acceleration at the same time?
Yes. For example, if you throw an object up into the air, this will happen when it reaches the highest point. At that moment, its velocity is zero; on the other hand, at any moment, the object is accelerating downward at 9.8 meters per square second.
What is the velocity of an object accelerating at 3 meter per second per second with a force of 12N?
We can only give the mass of the object. Newton's second law of motion will show that Force = mass x acceleration. therefore 12 Newtons = 4 kilogrammes x 3 m/s2 To calculate final velocity you will need to specify the time, the acceleration (and the initial velocity).
An object traveling at a constant 20 miles per second in a circular path is changing what?
This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.
This is an object's change in motion per unit time in a specified direction?
The phrase "change in motion" is rather slippery.The size of the change in the object's position, per unit time, in a specifieddirection, is the component of its velocity in that direction.The size of the change in the object's velocity, per unit time, in a specifieddirection, is the component of its acceleration in that direction.
The distance an object travels per unit of time is called what?
That's the object's "speed". (NOT velocity.)
What is the effect on the force if the velocity changes from 5 miles per hour to 10 miles per hour?
Itis an accelerating force but without a measure of the time over which the speed velocity changed, it is not possible to say more.
An object traveling in a circle is accelerating because it is constantly changing?
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.
What happens to an object in free fall as it reaches terminal velocity?
every second the velocity increases by 9.8m/s per second per second
What is the final velocity of a freely falling object?
The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.
One object has a velocity of -4 feet per second another has 3 feet per second which is greater?
The object with the velocity of -4 feet per second is going faster than the other, but in the opposite direction, hence the minus sign.
How can object accelerate when it does not change speed?
Let's review some terms before we tackle this one. Speed is displacement per unit of time. We know 60 miles per hour is a speed. Velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. We know 60 miles per hour east is velocity. Acceleration is a change in velocity. That means if an object changes its speed or its direction or both, it is accelerating.If an object has a given velocity and it slows down or speeds up, it is accelerated. But if the same object changes direction without a change in speed, it is still experiencing acceleration. A force had to act on the object to change its direction, even though its speed didn't change. Thus, an object can accelerate even though it does not change speed.
