No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.

∙ 12y agoYes, velocity involves speed and direction. So if the direction and the speed change at a certain rate, the velocity could stay the same.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo. Velocity is speed and direction. If you change either variable, the velocity will no longer be constant.

Can a body have a varying speed if its velocity constantif yes?
No, because constant velocity means constant speed and constant direction
Can the velocity of a body be constant still varying its speed?
Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.
Can a body have constant speed and still have a varying velocity?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
Can a body have a constant velocity and still have a varying speed?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
Can a body have a constant velocity and still have varying speed?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
Can a body have a constant but a varying speed and vice's?
no
Can a body have constant velocity when it has constant speed?
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).
Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?
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.
Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?
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.
Can a body have constant velocity and changing speed?
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.
Can the speed of a body vary with its velocity constant?
No but converse may happen.
