The cruise control, since it affects the accelerator, can also cause a change in velocity.
(final velocity-starting velocity) divided by the time taken for the change in velocity to take place.
The brake pedal and the accelerator pedal can cause a change in speed.
The steering wheel can change the car's direction of motion, without changing speed.
Change in direction change in speed
The change in velocity is 20 meters per second north. ( ? ? ? )
a car braking is a negative rate of velocity change
That's exactly what we must conclude. If the forces on the car were not balanced, then its velocity would have to change.
change in velocity =accleration. Suppose a car is moving at 30km\hr at 6:30 am and then the velocity of the car is noted to be 100km\hr at 7:30am.thus the change in velocity of the car =100-70=30 km\hr over a time of (6:30am-7:30am) 1hr.Thus the accleration of the car=30km/hr*hr.Force however is the product of the mass of the car and the accleration by which the car is travelling.Let the mass of the car be 100kg.Thus the force =100*30=3000kg*km/hr*hr.
If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.
The Increase in Gas and Air fed into the engine cause it to produce more energy. This in turn increases its RPM, and the driving wheels rotate faster...increasing the car's Velocity.
The smaller vehicle will encounter the larger velocity change.
Slowly press on the accelerator to go more quickly. Slowly press down on the brake pedal to go more slowly. These two operations can safely change a car's velocity.
