A vehicle that is traveling at 94 km/hr travels west from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. That's 2 and 1/2 hours of travel time at 94 km/hr. The car will travel 94 km/hr times 2 1/2 hr or 235 km in the time specified. That means the car will be that much farther west than it was at the start, which was 17 km west of a school. Add the distance from the school to the starting point of the vehicle and you'll know where the car will be at the end of the observation period. 235 km + 17 km = 252 km west of the school.

What is a bug's component of velocity due south if it is traveling at 141 km per hour toward the southeast?

99.7 km/hr


A car is traveling at a velocity of 70 km hr west to have the same velocity another car would have to travel at?

Another car would have to travel at 70 km/hr west.To have the same velocity, it must have the same speed toward the same direction.


How when something travels in a circle its always accelerating?

When an object travels in a circle, it is constantly changing direction, which means its velocity is also changing, even if its speed remains constant. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, and since velocity includes both speed and direction, any change in direction constitutes acceleration. This continuous change in direction toward the center of the circle is what is known as centripetal acceleration. Therefore, an object in circular motion is always accelerating due to this constant change in direction.


When a train moves along a straight track at a velocity of 95 km hr north A person walks toward the back of the train at a velocity of 3 km hr south what is the persons velocity relative to the ground?

If the person sat on the train their velocity relative to the ground would be 95kph. But he/she is goind 3kph to oppose this. So 95-3 = 92 kph to the north is velocity of person relative to the ground.

Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?

The velocity of a falling object increases as it falls due to the acceleration of gravity acting on it. As the object falls, it gains speed and accelerates toward the ground until it reaches a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.


A cyclist goes around a level circular track at constant speed. Is the cyclist's acceleration zero because her speed is constant?

No. The cyclist is moving at a constant speed, but her velocity is changing. Remember that velocity is speed with a direction vector associated with it. As speed is constant, only direction is changing. But a change in direction is a change in velocity (even if speed is constant), and this requires acceleration in that direction to accomplish the change in direction. You're on the right track, but just recall that acceleration is tied to velocity and not just speed. And note that velocity can change all the time without speed changing. Acceleration must cause the change in velocity. Consider that objects in orbit around the earth move at a pretty constant speed, but accelerate toward the earth all the time. Their speed coupled with their acceleration toward earth cause them to move in an arc - which is their orbital path.


Why are your velocity changes when you ride a ferris wheel even if the wheel turns at a constant speed?

A ferris wheel turning at a constant speed has no change in speed. But velocity is speed with a direction vector attached to it. Speed with a direction component is velocity. In this case, the distance per unit of time (speed) that something is traveling is constant, but the direction it is traveling is constantly changing because that something is moving in an arc (or circle). It's a ferris wheel, and anything on it has its velocity changing. Velocity is changing every second because the direction it is moving is changing. Any change in the velocity of an object will require that the object be accelerated. Even if its speed is constant, it will experience acceleration to change "just" the direction it is traveling. It's the same with an object in orbit. The object will be cruising along at a constant speed, but its velocity will be constantly changing. This is because the direction the object is moving is changing because it is being accelerated constantly to get it to move in an arc. The object was put in orbit, and it was accelerated into that orbit. Now, the object is being acted on constantly by gravity. The gravity is pulling the object back to earth, but if we look at where it is going at any instant of time, it is moving on a tangent to its path of travel. It moves a tiny bit on that tangent, and gravity pulls it "in" just a tiny bit, and that makes it path an arc. A little on the tangent, and a little "in" toward earth. A little more on the "new" tangent path, and a little "in" toward earth. A little more along the new tangent path, and a little more in toward earth. A smooth arc - a circle. The object in orbit is constantly being accelerated toward earth, and this acceleration constantly changes its velocity (but not its speed), and it moves in that circular orbit.


If a car is traveling at a constant speed but is going around a curve what can you say about the cars motion?

The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.

A satellite in an elliptical orbit travels at constant what?

If the path is perfectly circular, yes, the speed is constant. This should not be confused with the velocity, because while speed is constant, its direction is not; therefore velocity is always changing.

What the answer


Will magnitude of accleration be constant if oject travels in constant speed in circular path?

Short answer: yes.The force required to maintain constant-velocity circular motion is called centripetal force, and it acts toward the center of the circle (perpendicular to the object's tangential velocity). Centripetal force is given byf_c = mv^2 / rwhere m is the mass of the orbiting object, v is its tangential velocity and r is its (presumably constant) distance from the center of rotation. Centripetal acceleration is given by dividing both sides of this equation by m (as governed by Newton's second law).


Can you accelerate and keep the same speed?

Acceleration means any change in either speed or direction of motion.If speed remains constant, there may still be acceleration present if thedirection of the motion is changing.If the rate at which speed and/or direction are changing remains constant,then the acceleration is constant


Why is something accelerating when it is traveling in a circle?

Something is accelerating when it is traveling in a circle because the direction of its velocity is changing.It is important to understand that a velocity not only has a magnitude but it also has a direction. In general, if the magnitude and/or direction of an object's velocity is changing, we say that it is accelerating.Again, if something is traveling and only the direction that it is traveling changes, we still say it is accelerating because the direction that it is traveling is changing.This is the case when something is traveling in a circle at constant speed. If you where to represent its velocity by a vector you would find that while the magnitude of the vector does not change over time, the direction of the vector does. In fact, over a very short period of time, if you where to represent the change in direction of its velocity by a vector, you would find that that "difference vector" points directly toward the center of the circle.Again, this is all a bit confusing because when we generally use the word "accelerate" we mean that something is speeding up. However one just has to get use to the idea that when something is accelerating, it may be that only the direction of its velocity is changing and not necessarily the magnitude of its velocity.To learn more about this go to the related links below.
