These, to the naked eye, display no markings at all. So Aristotle attributed to them Plato’s fifth element, quintessence, which fills all of space above the Moon. One of the assumed properties of quintessence was that it moves by itself in a circle. ) Aristotle argued that the spinning motion of the heavens around the Earth at the center caused a spinning motion of the terrestrial sphere—like an object in a giant washing machine—which in turn caused the four elements to separate out according to their weight (or density).

What is the car doing? The change in the speed is zero, so the ratio of ⌬v/⌬t gives zero, while the direction remains unchanged. Does that mean the car stopped? No, what it means is that the acceleration (not the speed) stopped; in other words, the car stopped changing its speed for 2 s, so the average speed (and average velocity) remained constant. The car cruised for 2 s at 50 km/hr. Now what happened during the last 3 s? You can figure this out yourself . . 12 Cart traveling at v with acceleration opposite.

The reason is that the concept of speed is closely related to the concept of velocity, from which the symbol v arises. However, these two are not the same when used in precise technical terms. The term “velocity” is used to indicate speed in a specified direction, such as 50 km/hr to the north or 130 cm/s to the right. Speed indicates how fast something is moving regardless of whether or how it may change in direction. But velocity indicates how fast it is moving and the direction it is moving.
