Question

The speedometer of a car moving northward reads 60 km/h. It passes another car that travels southward at 60 km/h. Do both cars have the same speed? Do they have the same velocity?
Pls answer
It’s for 25 Pts

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Both cars have the same speed, but they have opposite velocities because they are moving in opposite directions.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Yes , both the cars have the same speed because speed matters or depends only on magnitude note on direction but both the cars don't have the same velocity because velocity depends upon magnitude and direction so so the first car has a direction North ward and the second car has a direction Southward which can be represented in vector form as 60j and -60j, both are not same.
