The magnitude of the velocity is sqrt(32 + 42) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5 mph.

The heading of the boat is 143.1301 degrees ie 53.1301 degrees South of East.

NB: 53.1301 = arctan(4/3)

Does the Magnitude of a charge affect the velocity of body?

No, the magnitude of a charge does not directly affect the velocity of a body. The velocity of a body depends on the forces acting on it, such as electromagnetic forces, gravitational forces, or friction. The charge of a body affects how it interacts with electric and magnetic fields, but it does not affect its velocity directly.


Can particle with constant velocity be accelerating?

No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.


How is speed difrent from velocity?

Velocity has magnitude and direction and speed only has magnitude.


What is the difference between the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity of an object?

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion, while magnitude of velocity refers to the speed of the object regardless of direction. So, the magnitude of velocity is the absolute value of the velocity vector without considering its direction.


Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?

velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.


Can an object have an eastward velocity while experiencing a westward accelerations?

The answer is yes and no.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed plus direction.If an object is travelling eastward and slowing down in a straight line then its velocity is decreasing, it is still travelling eastward. However the force slowing the object is a westward force.A reducing acceleration (slowing down) is most often called a deceleration or negative acceleration. So you have a negative eastward acceleration.


Can your speed and velocity ever have the same magnitude?

Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't


What does slope represnt in a velocity and time graph?

magnitude of acceleration (change in magnitude of velocity over time)


How is velocity diffrent from speed?

Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
