It can, but it won't always. In other words, if the speed is constant, the velocity may, or may not, be constant as well.

Can an object have a constant spped and velocity at the same time?

Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude. It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.


Why achanging velocity cannot maintaining constant speed?

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.


Can an object have constant velocity and but variable speed?

No, an object cannot have constant velocity and variable speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant.


Can an object maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero?

No, an object cannot maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero. If an object is accelerating, its velocity will be changing over time, so it cannot maintain a constant velocity. Uniform velocity means the speed and direction of the object remains constant.


Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?

Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.


What happens to the velocity of an object even if the speed of an object remains constant?

Velocity can change even if speed is constant.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a what speed?

When the velocity of a moving object stays the same, it has a constant speed.


Can an object accelerates when its speed is constant?

No, if an object's speed is constant, then it is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, which includes both speed and direction. If an object's speed is constant, it means there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


What is the force required to maintain an object at a constant velocity in free space equal to?

Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object will maintain its speed when there is no net force acting on it. The question refers to free space and constant velocity -- the net force has to be zero. =========================


If the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constand can its instantaneous speed change?

No, if the instantaneous velocity of an object remains constant, then its instantaneous speed cannot change. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is constant, it means both the speed and direction are constant.


Why the speed of an object is constant while the velocity is not?

This is not always the case. But if an object moves in a circle, at constant speed, its velocity will change. Velocity is a vector - consisting of the magnitude (the speed), and a direction. So by definition, if the direction changes, the velocity changes - you have a different vector.


Can an object have a varyong speed if its velocity is constant?

No, if an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant. Velocity is a vector quantity that accounts for both the magnitude (speed) and direction of motion, so if the velocity is constant, both speed and direction will remain the same.
