What is the definition of a constant velocity?
What is the definition of a constant velocity?
A constant velocity is when an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed and direction.
How do you calculate the resultant velocity of an object?
How do you calculate the resultant velocity of an object?
To calculate the resultant velocity of an object, you must use a vector diagram to find the sum of its individual velocities.
What is the equation for finding the distance an object has traveled?
What is the equation for finding the distance an object has traveled?
The equation for finding the distance an object has traveled is displacement = average velocity x time.
Study Notes
-
An object moves in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted on by a force.
-
When an object is moving, the force of the current pushing it will be greater than the force of the object's own weight.
-
The resultant velocity of an object is the sum of its individual velocities.
-
To find the resultant velocity of an object, you must use a vector diagram.
-
The resultant velocity of an object is always in the direction of the current.
-
To find the distance an object has traveled, you must first calculate its displacement.
