  • Understanding Velocity: What You Need to Know About Car Speed
    Here's what's true about the velocity of a moving car:

    * Velocity is a vector quantity: This means it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. A car traveling at 60 mph east has a different velocity than a car traveling at 60 mph west.

    * Velocity can change: A car's velocity changes if its speed changes, its direction changes, or both.

    * Constant velocity is possible: A car can maintain a constant velocity if it travels at a constant speed in a straight line.

    * Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity: If a car speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, it is accelerating.

    * Velocity can be calculated: Velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement (change in position) by the time taken.
