constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.

If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?

No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.


How can you determine the speed of an object that has constant motion if you have a distance vs time graph of the motion?

If constant motion means constant velocity then, total distance / total time = avg velocity => avg speed constant velocity => avg velocity = velocity


What is the velocity if the distance is 700000 miles at a speed of 250000?

If the direction of motion is constant then the velocity is the same as the speed in that direction. If the direction is not constant, the information given is nowhere near sufficient to calculate the velocity.


If a car travels at a constant speed is it accelerating?

No. Acceleration is the change in velocity(speed) over a period time.=====================================Another contributor bristled:Sorry. Velocity and speed are not two different words for the same thing.Velocity means speed and direction, and acceleration means any change in velocity.If the speed is constant but the direction is changing ... like turning a corner or drivingon a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.


What is the equation for uniform velocity?

V = constant Speed = constant Direction = constant Acceleration = 0
