Hi. Is this statement right?

Velocity depends on the speed and direction of an object to be true. While an object travels at a constant speed and at constant direction there will be a constant velocity.

Answer #1

True indeed that velocity solely depends on the speed and the direction of an object. Hence, while an object travels at a constant speed and at constant direction there will be a constant velocity. This happens when the object travels on a straight line with a constant speed.

velocity = displacement / time

While moving on a straight line, it maintains a constant direction. Hence, its velocity is unchanged. Similarly, if an object moves on a circular path with a constant speed, its velocity won't be constant.

An object moves with constant speed in the x-direction, but in the y-direction it is subject to an acceleration that increases linearly with time: a(t)=bt, where b is a constant. Assume there is no gravity. Derive an equation analogous to y=xtanθ−(g/2V^2cos^2θ0)x^2 giving the object's trajectory in this situation. Note that θ0θ0 is the angle measured from the horizontal, at which the projectile is launched, and v0v0 is its initial speed. Assume the object starts moving from the origin. Express your...
