What else can I help you with?
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 happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the direction in which the body is moving?
It depends how you changed the direction of the body. If the body is hit by an external force in the direction of motion, the velocity should increase. If the body is hit by an external force in the opposite direction of motion, velocity will decrease.
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
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.
Is it true or false that a body traveling at constant speed changes its direction without a change in its velocity?
False. A body traveling at constant speed does not change its velocity, which includes both speed and direction. Therefore, in order to change direction, the body would need to change its velocity, which also involves changing its 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 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.
Does the speed of an object change when the speed changes?
Yes. The velocity changes when the direction of motion changes, because the definition of 'velocity' is 'speed and the direction'. If either speed or direction changes, then we say the velocity has changed. Notice that if the direction changes, then the velocity changes even if the speed doesn't. "Velocity" is not just a bigger word that you use for 'speed' when you want to sound smart. They mean different things.
What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the speed at which the body is moving?
The velocity changes. called acceleration.
Can a body have zero velocity and still acceleration?
No. A velocity indicates a speed and direction. An acceleration is a change in speed or direction.
When do the velocity and speed of a moving body become equal?
The velocity and speed of a moving body become equal when the motion is along a straight line with no change in direction. In such cases, the velocity and speed have the same magnitude.
Velocity differs from speed in that velocity indicates?
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that a body's speed and direction are both required to define it. They are different because: Speed is the rate of change of distance with time but velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
