It means moving at a constant speed ... not speeding up or slowing down ...

and in a straight line.

What does mean the velocity remains constant?

there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity


If the velocity is constant does that mean that there is no change in momentum?

yes


What does cv in cv boots or joint mean?

constant velocity


What does it mean for an object to have constant velocity?

It means that the object moves in a straight line at a constant speed.


What is root mean square velocity?

For an object moving at a variable velocity you:calculate the square of the velocityfind its mean valuecalculate its square root.If the velocity is constant then the RMS velocity has the same value.


Can constant velocity be zero?

Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.


What is the velocity in which the body covers equal displacements in equal intervals of ttime?

In that case, the velocity is said to be constant.


What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?

If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.


Can an object have constant velocity and but variable speed?

No. Velocity has two parts, speed and direction A constant velocity means that both the speed and the direction must be constant. So a constant velocity must have a constant speed.


Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?

Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.


Is distance and time proportional in velocity?

Not sure what you mean exactly. At constant velocity, the distance travelled is proportional to the time.


If you have a constant velocity do you have to have a constant speed?

Yes, speed is the scalar of velocity.
