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 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 nature of velocity time graph of a body moving with uniform retardation?
A body moving at a uniform speed may have a uniform velocity, or its velocity could be changing. How could that be? Let's look. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity is speed.
Can a body have a constant velocity but varying speed?
No. If the speed varies, the body accelerates, and velocity cannot be constant.
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 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 velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
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.
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.
Can a body have zero velocity and still acceleration?
No. A velocity indicates a speed and direction. An acceleration is a change in speed or direction.
Can a body have a varying speed if its velocity constantif yes?
No, because constant velocity means constant speed and constant direction
