Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction.
If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is changing, it means either the speed, direction, or both are changing. Therefore, if the velocity is changing, the object cannot maintain a constant speed.
Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.
Yes, an object can have a constant speed but varying velocity if it changes direction while moving at that speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed but changing direction, then its velocity is constantly changing even though its speed remains the same.
No, it is not. Basically speed is a scalar whereas velocity is a vector.A car going round a circular track at constant speed has a velocity which is changing at every moment.
Velocity is a vector. A vector has a magnitude and a direction. The scalar or magnitude portion of velocity is speed. Velocity is a constant only when both the speed and direction are not varying. Hence, when the speed is changing, the velocity cannot be a constant.
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is changing, it means either the speed, direction, or both are changing. Therefore, if the velocity is changing, the object cannot maintain a constant speed.
Yes, the velocity is changing. Velocity is a quantity composed of the speed and the direction of motion. Constant velocity means: Constant speed, in a straight line. If the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing, even if the speed is constant.
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.
Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.
No, if a car is changing velocity, it is not maintaining a constant speed. Velocity includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion, so any change in velocity would involve a change in speed, direction, or both.
Of course. In fact, in order to have constant velocity, it must have constant speed.What you really want to know: Can a body have changing velocity when it has constant speed ?The answer to that one is also "yes", for example when it is moving in a circle, the speed is constant but the velocity is changing all the time (in direction).
No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.
Of course, since velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity, velocity has something speed does not: direction. Thus, an object can travel at the same speed by has a changing direction of movement, and therefore a changing velocity. For instance, a ball on a string moving in a circle at the same speed is constantly changing its velocity, which results in its path of motion.Yes. Velocity is (speed and direction of motion). If direction changes, then velocitychanges, even if speed is constant.Examples:-- Car going around a curve at a constant speed has changing velocity.-- Anything traveling a circular path at a constant speed has changing velocity.
No, in order for the velocity to be constant, the speed has to be constant. Speed is a scalar, meaning that it is just a number. (A car goes 50 miles per hour). Velocity is a vector, which indicates that it needs a measure of its displacement and a direction. (A car is going 50 mph to the east). A body can have a constant speed but a changing velocity because the direction can change while the speed is constant. (A car goes 50 mph around a roundabout). However, a body can not have a constant velocity with a changing speed. A car can not be slowing down yet still be going the same speed and direction.
Yes, an object can have a constant speed but varying velocity if it changes direction while moving at that speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed but changing direction, then its velocity is constantly changing even though its speed remains the same.
No, an object with constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed of an object is constant, its velocity is not changing and therefore there is no acceleration.
