If there's a body moving in a circle with constant speed, and you come along

and do work on it, then either its speed will change, or it will depart from the

circle, or both.

The force that's keeping it on the circular path is not doing any work on it.

When constant force is applied to a body then it does it moves with uniform speed?

Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?

Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.


Can a body have constant velocity when it has constant speed?

Of course. In fact, in order to have constant velocity, it must have constant speed.What you really want to know: Can a body have changing velocity when it has constant speed ?The answer to that one is also "yes", for example when it is moving in a circle, the speed is constant but the velocity is changing all the time (in direction).


Can a body have constant speed and still have a varying velocity?

Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.


Can a body have a constant velocity and still have a varying speed?

Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.

How can a body be accelerating when moving at constant speed?

A body is being accelerated if its speed OR direction are changing.A satellite in a perfectly circular orbit around the earth ... like a TV satellite ... is moving at constant speed. But, technically, since its direction is always changing, to keep it on a circle, it's experiencing constant acceleration.


What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.


Can an objeact have constant speed and but variable velocity?

Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.It is possible that an object can have constant speed but if speed is constant while direction of motion is changing constantly then it means that body has variable velocity.An example of this phenomena is a body moving in a circle whose speed is constant but velocity is changing every instant due to change in direction at every instant.


Does the acceleration of a body moving in circular path remain constant?

If the speed of the object doesn't change, then yes.


When is a body consider with constant speed?

when a body move with uniform speed


If the speed of a body remaining same discuss wheather its velocity can change?

Yes; if the direction changes (for instance, if an object moves in a circle), even if its speed doesn't change, its velocity changes. This is because the term "velocity" also includes the direction.
