What does it mean when an object is traveling with a constant velocity?

It means that the velocity doesn't change over time. It's speed
is always the same, and it moves in a straight line.

What does it mean for an object to have constant velocity?
It means that the object moves in a straight line at a constant speed.
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.
If the speed of an object does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?
It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.
Can an object have a varying speed it its velocity is constant?
Of course, since velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity, velocity has something speed does not: direction. Thus, an object can travel at the same speed by has a changing direction of movement, and therefore a changing velocity. For instance, a ball on a string moving in a circle at the same speed is constantly changing its velocity, which results in its path of motion.Yes. Velocity is (speed and direction of motion). If direction changes, then velocitychanges, even if speed is constant.Examples:-- Car going around a curve at a constant speed has changing velocity.-- Anything traveling a circular path at a constant speed has changing velocity.
An object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity what is mean is n't possible.?
Yes, it can happen. when the velocity is momentarily zero while an object is changing from moving in the positive direction motion to the negative direction; the object obviously will stop at one point, but will still have a constant acceleration.
CAN AN Object accelerate and be moving at a constant speed?
Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.
If the speed of an does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?
It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.
What is constant exceloration?
Not sure what you mean by exceloration.Constant acceleration is the state when the velocity of an object is changing at the same rate with respect to time.
is it correct that the average velocity is always equal to the mean value of initial and final velocities?
It is correct only if the object in question is subject to a constant acceleration.
What do you mean when we talk about a constant speed?
No. Circular motion can have constant speed but varying velocity. Constant speed means constant speed in any direction, like a car on cruise control turning a corner. Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line. If the direction changes, that's considered a change in velocity.
Don't the centripetal force and centrifugal force cancel each other?
Assuming you mean an object rotating around a point (i.e. on a string), no. If they did, the object would maintain a constant velocity, but because the direction changes, the velocity does too.
What does mean the velocity remains constant?
there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity
