No. Since the object's direction changes all the time, it follows that its velocity is not constant. Its speed, on the other hand, may or may not be constant.

Does velocity of an object remain constant in uniform circular motion?

No, the velocity of an object in uniform circular motion is not constant because although the speed may remain constant, the direction of the velocity continuously changes as the object moves along the circular path. This change in direction indicates a change in velocity, known as acceleration.


Does the speed of a car moving in a circular path at 15 mph remain constant Or does the acceleration or its velocity remains constant?

The magnitude of the velocity will be constant however the direction will be constantly changing. The acceleration will remain constant towards the centre of the circle


An object traveling at a constant rate in a circular path is changing its?

velocity continuously because velocity has both magnitude and direction. In a circular path, the direction of the object's velocity is constantly changing as it moves around the circle, even though its speed (magnitude of velocity) may remain constant.


Can uniform velocity appear in circular motion?

No.. this is impossible. Velocity must have a constant direction and speed to remain constant, it may have a constant speed, but the direction in a circle constantly changes. If it suddenly were to have constant direction, then the motion would go off on a tangent.. making it linear motion, not circular. In circular motion, velocity constantly changes. Always.


What remain constant in uniform circular motion?

In uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant as it moves around the circle. However, the velocity of the object changes because the direction of the velocity vector is constantly changing. The centripetal acceleration remains constant in magnitude and always points towards the center of the circle.


For uniform circular motion the quantity that does not remain constant is?

this my sound rather daft but this is a bit of a trick question, the speed is the same so straight away you would think the acceleration is constant right....???? Wrong the displacement of the object is changing (displacement is the distance being travelled with a direction, a vector quantity.) as the displacement is changing so is the velocity, as velocity is displacement/time. as the velocity is changing so is the acceleration because acceleration is then change in velocity divided by time.


What is The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as?

The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as inertia.


Why is a particle in uniform circular motion not moving at a constant velocity?

No. Velocity has direction and magnitude. The magnitude can be constant, but if the body is in circular motion, the direction of the movement is constantly changing, which means that the velocity is constantly changing. Changing velocity means that the body is accelerating. In this case, because the motion of the body is always changing away from a straight line to cause it to go round the circle, the acceleration acts towards the centre of the circle.


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.


Will the velocity of an object increase decrease or remain constant as it reaches the ground?

The velocity of an object will increase as it falls towards the ground due to the acceleration of gravity. However, once it reaches terminal velocity, its velocity will remain constant.


Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant?

Yes, it can. Initially, an object will be accelerating downward (with an acceleration equal to g - f, where f is the force of air resistance). During this period, mass is constant but velocity is continually increasing, so momentum increases as well. However, because f is dependent on v (the speed of the object relative to the air), at a certain velocity, the force of air resistance will equal gravity, and the object will stop accelerating (this velocity is known as "terminal" velocity). At this point, the object will fall with constant speed, and momentum will remain constant.


Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?

Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.
