You would not have velocity. because you do not have any displacement.
You do have Acceleration because your direction is changing.

Can the velocity of a car which is turning a curve be held constant?
The speed can be constant but the velocity can't, because the directionof motion ... which is a component of velocity ... is changing. Also the velocity of a moving body changes when its speed changes but remains moving towards the same direction ... :) :]
What is the physical significance of angular velocity?
Angular velocity means how fast something is turning around. Often measured in radians per second, or revolutions per minute.
Why is an object traveling at a constant speed but turning left said to be accelerating?
Acceleration is not a change in speed, but a change in velocity. Velocity is, unlike speed, a vector, and so as the direction of velocity changes there must be an acceleration to cause that change.
What is an example of something that undergoes acceleration while moving at a constant speed?
Acceleration is technically defined as a change in velocity. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so one could accelerate just by turning.
What is how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant?
IF it changes to the completely opposite direction ... does a 180 or a "U-turn" ...then the velocity must be zero at that instant. But if the direction only changesby turning a corner or going around a bend, then there's no way to know whatthe velocity is without a lot more information.
What is the angular velocity in radians per second of a pulley turning at 1800 RPM?
The angular velocity of a pulley turning 1800 rpm is 60 pi radians per second.
Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
Can an object have a constant speed and a varying velocity?
Yes. Velocity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. If speed is constant but the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing. An example is a car turning a corner without slowing down.

How can a vehicle at the same time have a constant speed but changing velocity?
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
What is the function of universal joint in vehicle?
To enable constant velocity. It keeps a shaft turning through a range of angles.
How do you adjust paintball marker?
You can adjust the marker by turning the velocity screw. It is in a different place for every gun. This changes the FPS.
What does it mean when a 04 Nissan sentra makes a popping noise in reverse while turning?
could be a contant velocity joint

What occurs any time an object speeds up or slows down or changes direction?
Acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity. Velocity is its speed and direction. So when one of these things changes, it is undergoing acceleration. Acceleration can be the object speeding up, slowing down, turning right, turning left, etc. Deceleration is lowering the rate of change. You are experiencing no change if you are moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
