Speed and velocity cannot be unequal for the same object. Speed tells you how quickly something is moving (as measured, for example, in meters per second) and velocity tells you how quickly something is moving and in what direction it is moving.

Can velocity of a body vary if speed of the body change?
velocity means speed of an object and in a definite direction.That shows velocity changes with speed
When can you say that there is acceleration?
when the body travels in unequal velocity in equal intervals of time.
How is the speed of a body related to its velocity?
The speed is the MAGNITUDE of the velocity, i.e., without regard to the direction.
What is the speed velocity of a body?
In common speech, velocity means speed, they are the same thing.
What is the nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
Can a body have a constant velocity but varying speed?
No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.
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 but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
How is speed of a body related its velocity?
Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.
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.
What is unifom velocity?
when a body travels unequal displacement in equal interval of time or visa-versa, it is said to have non-uniform velocity
