Question Number 88961 by Zainal Arifin last updated on 14/Apr/20
One care travels due east at 40 km/h.  and second car travels north at   40 km/h. are their velocities equal?
$$\mathrm{One}\:\mathrm{care}\:\mathrm{travels}\:\mathrm{due}\:\mathrm{east}\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{40}\:\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{second}\:\mathrm{car}\:\mathrm{travels}\:\mathrm{north}\:\mathrm{at}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{40}\:\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}.\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{their}\:\mathrm{velocities}\:\mathrm{equal}? \\ $$

No, since directions are not same.

watch the tachometer of any car. does it  show different values if the car travels 40km/h  east first and then 40km/h north? what do  you expect and what do you observe?

  yes. you are right, the velocity  depend with directions.
