It can have a constant speed, and a changing velocity, but it cannot have the two at the same time. Remember: Velocity = speed with a directional component.

Define constant angular velocity and explain how it applies to CD standards?

Constant angular velocity of a rotating disk means that, given a stationary base reference line and a zero line on the disk, both extending from the center of rotation to the outside edge of the disk, the periodic change in angle between the two lines remains a constant. Such a disk will have constant angular velocity (CAV) if its rate of rotation or revolutions per minute (RPM) remains constant.While it would be technically possible to have the linear velocity of the disk remain constant by gradually decreasing the speed of rotation as the player head moves across the disk (because the outer paths are longer than the inner ones), this would make things more complicated both for the recording and playback machines, and therefore more expensive.The paths of information on a CD (or DVD) are analogous to the grooves on an LP recording. The recording and playback heads move across the disk (CD or LP) as it rotates. Actually, of course, there is only one spiral path or groove; on an LP, it goes from the outside edge toward the center; on a CD/DVD, it goes in the opposite direction. In deciding on the parameters for the LP and CD, engineers had to involve the amount of data to be recorded and the spacing required to record that data versus the size of the disk, the speed of rotation, the data capacity of the disk material, and the sensitivity of both the recording and playback heads.The result of this engineering was set as the standard for recording audio LP's and CD's and, later, DVD's.


What does interate mean?

It is a word commonly used in Chemical Engineering. It means to iterate for a solution across an integral. For example, in adiabatic flame temperature calculations when given the generated enthalpy and asked to solve for final temperature. A chemical engineer must iterate to solve for the final temperature across the constant pressure heat capacity integral.

If a graph shows time on the horizonal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?

The straight horizontal line would indicate constant speed.(NOT constant velocity. The velocity could very well be changing, but the graphdoesn't tell you anything about the direction of the motion, only that the speedis constant.)

What doe constant mean in science?

A constant variable is one that is not the independent variable (the one you are changing) or the dependent variable (the one you change). Constant variables are so named because in order for the experiment to be legitimate, it is expected that the scientist control them, thus keeping them constant across all trials. This ensures that changes in the dependent variable are only the result of changes in the independent variable.


If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero. The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.


A glider sailing across the sky at a steady speed and altitude an example of and unbalanced force?

No. A glider that is moving at a constant speed and in a constant direction is at a constant velocity. In other words it is not accelerating. Therefore, all forces on it must be balanced.

The climate everywhere remains in a constant state of flux. It is always changing. It Texas, as across most of earth, the climate is currently changing substantially faster than by any strictly natural means.
