Because "velocity" consists of a speed and a direction. If the direction is changing,
then the velocity is changing, even though the speed isn't.
And here's another one for you:
"Acceleration" means any change in velocity. So if the race car is going around an oval
track at a constant speed, it's accelerating. ==> Because its velocity is changing. ==>
Because its direction is changing. ==> All at constant speed.
That's because the direction changes. In physics, "speed" is a scalar, while "velocity" is a vector - i.e., both the magnitude and the direction matter. In the case of velocity, if either the direction or the magnitude change, that means that the velocity changes.
Yes, IF it maintains constant speed on the track. The academic definition of velocity is speed and the associated direction, a vector. A car traveling in a circle is constantly changing direction. However, most people, including physicists when they are not writing textbooks, treat velocity and speed as interchangable such that a car going a constant speed on a circular track would be considered to have a constant velocity even though the direction in which it is traveling is constantly changing.
The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.The velocity of the car in this case is changing (to specify velocity, you indicate a speed and a direction), therefore the car is accelerating.
An object moving at constant speed in a circle. Acceleration is rate of change of velocity, as velocity is speed in a certain direction, when moving in a circle an object's velocity is constantly changing, as its velocity is changing it is accelerating.

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.

Disregarding friction, the net force on a car during circular motion is equal to the product of its mass and the square of its velocity, divided by the distance from the center of the circle to the car (the radius). This is also equivalent to the car's centripetal acceleration.

Constant speed around a curve is changing velocity.

yes, It accelerates (and does so at a constant rate - if the rate of turn is constant) in the direction of the turn. The speed is constant, but the direction the car is going changes at each instant in time because it is turning. And because it is changing direction, that means its velocity is changing (because velocity is speed plus a direction vector).Read more: What_happpens_to_a_car_moving_at_a_constant_speed_as_it_turns_a_corner
If the car rounds the turn, then its velocity is not constant.Velocity is a thing that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude is what we call "speed".If the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing, even if the speed is constant.
The magnitude of the velocity will be constant however the direction will be constantly changing. The acceleration will remain constant towards the centre of the circle

Velocity changes as direction is continuously changing.
