In common speech, velocity means speed, they are the same thing.

Can velocity of a body vary if speed of the body change?

velocity means speed of an object and in a definite direction.That shows velocity changes with speed


How is speed of a body related its velocity?

Part of every velocity is a speed. Speed is the size of the velocity.But the velocity also has a direction, which the speed doesn't.'30 mph North' and '30 mph West' are the same speed but different velocity.


How is the speed of a body related to its velocity?

The speed is the MAGNITUDE of the velocity, i.e., without regard to the direction.


What is the speed and direction of a moving body called?

The speed and direction of a moving body is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of an object and the direction in which it is moving.


Can a body have a constant velocity but varying speed?

No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.


When do the velocity and speed of a moving body become equal?

The velocity and speed of a moving body become equal when the motion is along a straight line with no change in direction. In such cases, the velocity and speed have the same magnitude.


Can a velocity of a body change its speed is constant?

No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.


Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?

No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.


Can speed of a body change if its velocity is constant?

No. A body with constant velocity is either stationary or going at constant speed in a constant direction. The usual interpretation of speed and velocity goes like this. A velocity is a vector with magnitude and direction. The magnitude is usually called its speed. Changing a speed must change the length of the vector and changing the length of the velocity vector has to change the velocity.


Can a body have constant speed as well as variable velocity?

No, constant speed implies that the body is moving at a consistent rate, while variable velocity means the direction of motion is changing. It is not possible for a body to have both constant speed and variable velocity simultaneously.


Can the velocity of a body be constant still varying its speed?

Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.


What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the speed at which the body is moving?

The velocity changes. called acceleration.
