Yes it can.When a body moves in a circular path keeping its speed uniform then it will have variable vilocity as vilocity is the speed in a particular direction and while moving in a circular path its direction keeps changing and so does vilocity

What describes both speed and direction?

Velocity describes both the speed and direction an object is moving.


Is true that absolute value of speed equals velocity?

No, you've got it backwards. The absolute value of velocity equals speed. Velocity is speed with a direction; speed is just a number, without regard to direction.


When can an object a constant speed but not a constant velocity?

If the velocity is constant there is no acceleration. Speed is not velocity, velocity has speed and direction. I A car going around a circular track at 60 mph keeps the same speed but changes direction and thus accelerates at a constant speed. Velocity is speed in a certain direction. So change the speed but keep direction the same and you change the velocity. or Change the direction while keeping the speed the same and you change the velocity. If the speed is constant, any change of direction is a change in velocity. Driving around in a circle is a case of constantly changing direction.


Can an object moving at a constant speed have acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over a given time period. Velocity is a vector quantity: it includes speed and direction. That being said, you can accelerate an object without changing its speed by simply changing its direction. A body moving along the circumference of a circle its speed may remain a constant, but its velocity will not be a constant since its direction of motion continuously changes, since the velocity changes it has an acceleration.


Is it possible to have a changing velocity and a constant speed?

Yes, the velocity of a constantly (or not constantly) accelerated object will vary. Velocity is distance per unit time with a vector. It's speed (distance per unit of time) in a given direction. Under constant acceleration, the velocity is changing at a constant rate. But the velocity is changing. It is varying. The object could be speeding up or it could be slowing down. Or it could be changing direction. Any of these change velocity. An object that is experiencing constant acceleration will have its velocity varying. Why wouldn't it have?

What is the condition in which a body moving with uniform speed has a variable velocity?

The condition in which a body moving with uniform speed has a variable velocity is when the direction of motion changes even though the speed remains constant. This means that the object is accelerating, even though its speed does not change.


What is the difference between uniform and variable velocity?

Uniform velocity is constant speed in a straight line, while variable velocity changes in speed or direction over time. Uniform velocity has no acceleration, whereas variable velocity may have acceleration due to changes in speed or 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.


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.


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 is the difference between uniform velocity and constant velocity?

Uniform velocity means that an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, while constant velocity adds the additional condition of moving with a constant speed and direction. In other words, constant velocity implies both uniform speed and no change in direction.


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.


What are two ways in which an object can have constant velocity uniform motion?

Objects moving in uniform circular motion will have a constant speed, and two objects with the same acceleration have a constant velocity.


What is uniform velocity and uniform accelration?

If a car moving in a straight line travels equal distance in equal time no matter how small these distances may be, the car is said to be moving with a CONSTANT or Uniform Velocity.


If an object is moving at unifrom acceleration what is its velocity?

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 with a direction vector associated with it. If a car is going from, say, Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Nebraska state line at a steady speed of 70 miles per hour, its velocity is 70 miles per hour east. Simple and easy. Uniform speed equals uniform velocity. (Yes, I-80 isn't perfectly straight there. Let's not split hairs.) But a car moving around a circular track at a uniform speed is constantly changing direction. Its speed is constant, but its velocity is changing every moment because the directionit is going is changing. Speed is uniform, but velocity isn't. As asked, uniform speed is a uniform distance per unit of time. And this will yield a uniform distance per unit of time in its velocity, but the direction vector may be uniform or it may be changing each moment, as illustrated.


What is a graph of uniform velocity?

A graph of uniform velocity would be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without changing its velocity.


What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.
