Problem #1. (a) Is it possible to move with constant speed but not constant velocity? (b) Is it possible to move with constant velocity but not constant speed? Answer: a.) Yes. For example, if a car travels at constant speed while going around a curve in the road, its speed remains constant.
Velocity and Speed: Problems with Solutions. Problems with detailed solutions on velocity and speed of moving objects. Problem 1: A man walks 7 km in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) What is the man's average speed for the whole journey? b) What is the man's average velocity for the whole journey? Solution to Problem 1.

Find the unit vector in the direction of sum of two vectors ⃗ v = (2, −4) and ⃗w = (−3, 2). Solution: the sum of two given vectors, we call it ⃗c, is calculated as below. ⃗c = ⃗v + ⃗w = (2, −4) + (−3, 2) = (2 + (−3), −4 + 2) = (−1, −2) The magnitude of this vector is also found as √. ⃗c| = p(−1)2 + (−2)2 = 5.
4.6 One Dimensional Kinematics and Integration. When the acceleration a(t) of an object is a non-constant function of time, we would like to determine the time dependence of the position function x(t) and the x -component of the velocity v(t) . Because the acceleration is non-constant we no longer can use Eqs.
This video reviews vectors and scalars and describes how to calculate average velocity and average speed when you know displacement and change in time. The video also reviews how to convert km/h to m/s.
Calculate the average speed for the round trip. Answer: Average speed, as opposed to average velocity, relates to the total distance, as opposed to the net displacement.
