Why do cars ads tell how fast a car accelerates but seldom mention velocity?

As an example, a car moving at 20 mph per hour in a circular path does not have a constant velocity because its direction changes. Hence, the car is considered to be undergoing an acceleration.

∙ 9y agoThe speed it accelerates to, is the velocity. (MPH,KM/h)

What causes a cars velocity to change?
The velocity of a car - or of any object for that matter - can only be changed as a result of a force applied to the car. ======================== On pressing the accelerator the pistons in the engine starts to move faster which accelerates the rotating gears attached to the wheels thus making the wheels rotate faster pushing the car's velocity up.
When cars are changing direction they are also changing what?
They are changing velocity. Velocity is the measure of speed and direction
When a cars velocity is uniform what it is acceleration?
Acceleration is change of velocity divided by time; so if the velocity doesn't change, acceleration is zero.
What gives cars the greatest speed and velocity?
Horsepower and aerodynamics
Can you write me a sentence with the word velocity in the sentence?
The cars speeded through the Raceway at a velocity in excess of 200 mi./h
What is weight and height for front of a car?
it is not the same for all cars it depends seldom on the type of car and model
When a ca passes 200 meter in 2 seconds What is the cars velocity?
100
What is a CV and when should you use a CV instead?
CV joint is a Constant Velocity Joint in all FWD cars and most 4WD cars. A cv joint makes your FWD car drive and turn without losing velocity.
Name a color that cars seldom come in?
Puce - and for good reason<---Wrong Pink orange brown purple yellow
How we find the relative velocity of two cars moving side b side?
get a speedometer
A cars velocity changes from 20 ms to 50 ms 10 seconds later What is the cars average acceleration?
3 ms-2
Can the relative velocity of two bodies be greater than the absolute velocity of either?
Yes it can be!!! If two cars on a straight road head directly toward each other at a speed of 60mph (relative to the road), the velocity of one relative to the other is 120mph. This example arbitrarily uses the road as the reference for each car's speed, but there really is no such thing as "absolute velocity" and both cars would have a velocity of about 1000mph relative to the center of the Earth. According to Einstein's principles of "Relativity" all velocity is relative.
