1). Read the speedometer in the dash.

2). Look out the window and note the direction in which you're headed.

Those two pieces of information ... the car's speed and direction ... make up its velocity.

If you were standing in an enclosed car moving at constant velocity would you have to lean in some special way to compensate for the car's motion?

No, if the car is moving at a constant velocity, there is no need to lean in any special way to compensate for its motion. Your body is also moving at the same constant velocity as the car, so you will not feel any effect of the motion.


What is the net force acting if your professor's car is traveling west with a constant velocity of 55 mi-hr west on a straight highway?

If the velocity of the object is constant, then the net force on it is zero.(Incidentally, if the velocity of the car is constant and not zero, then it must be ona straight highway. If the highway curved and the car's velocity didn't change, thenit would run off of the road.)


What is an example of constant speed with changing velocity?

Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.


Is constant speed current velocity?

No, it is not. Basically speed is a scalar whereas velocity is a vector.A car going round a circular track at constant speed has a velocity which is changing at every moment.


How do you find distance with uniform velocity time final velocity and initial velocity?

If the velocity is uniform, then the final velocity and the initial velocity are the same. Perhaps you meant to say uniform acceleration. In any event, the question needs to be stated more precisely.

How do find use the uniform acceleration that cause a car's velocity to change?

To find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change, you can use the equation: Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. This formula allows you to calculate the rate at which the car's velocity is changing over a specific period of time.


How do you find the velocity form the speed of a car?

Velocity means speed and direction. So if you know the speed, all you need to add is the direction of motion and you will have the velocity.


Find the acceleration of a car that goes from A meters per second to B meters per second in 8 seconds?

The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. Given the initial velocity (A), final velocity (B), and time (8 seconds), you can substitute the values into the formula to find the acceleration.


How would you find the acceleration of a car going down a ramp.?

To find the acceleration of a car going down a ramp, you can use the equation: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. Measure the initial and final velocities of the car using a speedometer, and measure the time it takes for the car to travel down the ramp. Plug in the values into the formula to calculate the acceleration.


What is the velocity of a parked car?

The velocity of a parked car is zero because it is not in motion. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction; since the car is stationary, it has no speed and therefore no velocity.


Explain the circumstances when the acceleration and the velocity of car are parallel?

when velocity of a car is increasing then velocity and acceleration are parallel to each other.


What happens when you decrease the velocity of a car?

as you decrease the velocity of a car, you decrease the kinetic energy.


Is the velocity constant if a car is going around a curve?

No, the velocity of a car is not constant when it is going around a curve. The direction of the car's velocity is changing as it navigates the curve, even if its speed remains the same, so the velocity is not constant.


A car travels 180 miles west in 3 hours what is the velocity of the car?

The velocity of the car is 32 mph


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.


What happens to speed and velocity when a car turns but maintains the same speed?

When a car turns but maintains the same speed, the velocity of the car changes because velocity includes both speed and direction. The speed of the car stays the same, but the direction of the velocity changes as the car turns.


When a car accelerates it changes?

When a car accelerates, its velocity increases over time. This change in velocity is the result of a force being applied to the car, which causes it to speed up.
