    To find when two objects will intersect, you need to compare the distances traveled by each object at the same time. If the distances are equal, then the objects will intersect at that time. You can also set up an equation using the distance formula to solve for the time when the distances are equal. 3. What information do you need to calculate ...

  3. Two cars passing each other (constant velocity) - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/two-cars-passing-each-other-constant-velocity.427176

    In summary, two identical cars, one red and one green, are moving towards each other on adjacent lanes parallel to an x axis. The red car has a constant velocity of +20 km/h and the green car has a constant acceleration. At different points along the x axis, the cars pass each other at x = 44.6 m and x = 76.9 m respectively.

  4. Stationary object, constant velocity? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/stationary-object-constant-velocity.741162

    4. I had an interesting debate with a friend of mine recently. They claim that a stationary object (we are JUST talking about our reference frame here) observed by us has a constant velocity, even if it is 0. However, I claim that since velocity is a vector quantity, which requires both magnitude and direction, we cannot attribute any velocity ...

    Yes, if the velocity is constant then the acceleration is 0 m/s^2. The formula you provided, (Vi) (t) + (1/2) (a) (t)^2 = delta X, is the formula for calculating displacement (delta X) when the initial velocity (Vi) and constant acceleration (a) are known. However, in this problem, the velocity is already given as constant, so we can use the ...

  6. Physics of a runner (Constant Acceleration/ constant velocity)

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-of-a-runner-constant-acceleration...

    Constant acceleration refers to a situation where an object's velocity is changing at a constant rate. This means that the object's speed is increasing or decreasing by the same amount over equal intervals of time. On the other hand, constant velocity means that an object's speed and direction of motion remain the same over time.

    Constant velocity is directly related to Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that if an object has a constant velocity, it will continue to move at that speed and direction unless an external force acts upon it and ...

  8. Solve it: Catch the Bus with Constant Velocity? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/solve-it-catch-the-bus-with-constant-velocity.96661

    Yes, this problem can also be solved using the formula v = (d2 - d1)/ (t2 - t1), where v is the average velocity, d1 and t1 are the initial distance and time, and d2 and t2 are the final distance and time. However, this formula assumes constant acceleration, so it would not be accurate in the case of constant velocity.

    Constant velocity refers to an object's speed and direction remaining the same, while constant speed only refers to an object's speed remaining the same, regardless of its direction. 5. What are some real-life examples of constant velocity? Some real-life examples of constant velocity include a car traveling at a constant speed on a straight ...

    Constant-amplitude and constant-velocity are important concepts in understanding and manipulating sound waves. They are used in various technologies such as speakers, microphones, and musical instruments. They also play a role in understanding and predicting natural phenomena such as earthquakes and ocean waves. 5.

  11. Is Work done when there is constant velocity? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/is-work-done-when-there-is-constant-velocity.715053

    Yes, work can be negative when an object has constant velocity. This can happen when the force applied on the object is in the opposite direction of the displacement of the object. In this case, the work done on the object would be negative, indicating that the object is losing energy. 4. How does the angle between force and displacement affect ...
