No, it is not. At a constant speed, yes. But velocity has a direction component, and by running on (following) a curve, a change of direction (and, therefore, velocity) will have to be made. Again, note that speed can stay the same, but velocity has a direction vector associated with it that cannot be ignored.
What else can I help you with?
What is an example of constant speed with changing velocity?
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.
Is constant speed current velocity?
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.
Is it possible for a body to have average speed but zero average velocity give reason and example?
Yes, it is possible. This can happen when an object changes direction but ends up at its starting point. For example, if a person walks a certain distance in one direction and then walks back the same distance, their average speed over the entire trip could be constant, but their average velocity would be zero since displacement is zero (ending at the same point).
A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?
A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
Real life example of second law of motion?
Constant velocity is the Newton's first law. A real life example is Sunlight, an example of constant velocity, light traveling at the constant speed of light.. On earth, an ice skater gliding or a hockey puck sliding on ice is a close example of nearly constant velocity. A stable oil drilling platform is close to zero constant velocity.

A merry-go-round horse moves at a constant speed but at a changing?
. . . velocity, because one of the components of velocityis the direction of the speed.
What is the formula for acceleration?
a=dv/dt. By definition, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. In mathematical notation, it is given as the formula stated above. Two special cases: 1. When acceleration is constant: The rate of change is a constant. Therefore, it can be calculated by: a=(vf - vi) / t where a is acceleration vf is final velocity vi is initial velocity and t is time taken 2. When velocity is constant: Velocity is not changing. The rate of change of velocity is zero. Acceleration has to be zero. * * * * * Note that velocity and acceleration are both VECTORS. Therefore, an object going round in a circle, at CONSTANT speed, has velocity and acceleration that are changing all the time - because the direction of motion is changing.
What is the lowest velocity?
Lowest velocity round such as a 30.06 barrel has a longer barrel life.
Is Accelerated is related to the statement Circular motion with uniform speed?
yes.acceleration means change of velocity and not speed to be more precise.in a circular motion with constant speed the particle or the object constantly changes its direction.the direction of velocity is directed along the direction of the tangent at that point.although speed remains constant the velocity changes infinite number of times.so the particle is said to be accelerating.there is always instantaenous acceleration.but the average acceleration becomes zero after every round because velocity becomes the same after every round.
Would a merry go round have a changing velocity?
Yes, a merry-go-round would have a changing velocity because it is constantly changing direction as it rotates. The velocity of an object includes both speed and direction, so as the merry-go-round spins, its velocity is constantly changing.
Why is circular motion with constant speed called accelerated motion?
Acceleration is defined as change in velocity. Velocity is speed and direction. So when you're going round in a circle (circular motion), you're changing direction constantly, therefore changing velocity and therefore accelerating.
Acceleration is an increase of speed during a given interval of time?
No. It is the change in velocity (not speed) during a given interval of time. It can be an increase or a decrease although a decrease is also called a deceleration.The distinction between velocity and speed can best be illustrated by an object going round in a circle at a constant speed. It is changing direction all the time so that its velocity is constantly changing. It is constantly accelerating even though it is travelling at constant speed.
You are driving north on a highway Then without changing speed you round a curve and drive east Does your velocity change?
Yes, your velocity changes because velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. When you turn east, your direction changes, therefore your velocity changes even though your speed remains constant.
Running on a round track can you pass someone who is walking can you pass them every other lap?
Depending on the rate of speed, it is quite possible to do this.
How does an object's speed and motion change when it moves in a circle?
Velocity is a vector; having size (speed) and direction. The velocity of an object moving in a circle constantly changes, even if the speed is constant, because the object is continuously changing direction. Therefore it accelerates The force causing the acceleration is the centripetal force pulling it round into a circular path at right angles to the speed vector, like the moon going round the earth in a circular path being pulled towards the earth by the earth's gravity
