If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?

No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.
Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.
In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,
because the direction is always changing.

What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
An object moving at a constant velocity will?
... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.
What does constant velocity mean?
It means moving at a constant speed ... not speeding up or slowing down ... and in a straight line.
What is root mean square velocity?
For an object moving at a variable velocity you:calculate the square of the velocityfind its mean valuecalculate its square root.If the velocity is constant then the RMS velocity has the same value.
What happens when Net force is zero?
F=ma. F=0, a=0. The object is either moving a constant velocity or not moving at all.
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
What are diifferent word for object?
a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
What does mean the velocity remains constant?
there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
What do baoanced forces do to moving objects?
When all forces are balanced, the object can either be moving at a constant velocity or be at rest. But because you asked for balanced forces on a moving object, it is moving at a constant velocity.
If A car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity?
Not necessarily. Constant velocity also means no change in direction.
Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
Is the velocity of a horizontal moving object constant?
Only if the direction is constant and the speed is constant.
Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?
Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
What is the difference between constant velocity and variable velocity?
Constant velocity has speed always constant along the direction with respect to time. Variable velocity changes its speed with respect to time. Constant velocity has zero acceleration. Variable velocity has non-zero acceleration . An object moving at a constant velocity maintains both the same speed and direction. An object moving at a variable velocity can be changing speed or direction of travel or both.
