A constant parameter is one that does not vary over time, or varies so slowly, or within a very small, allowable range, that it can be used as a constant. One such parameter is the average temperature of the universe, which is 3 Kelvin. We theorize that over time it will gradually decrease with the expansion of the universe, but in practical terms, in a period of billions of years, it is held as a constant.

Diurnal light and dark cycles (day time and night time) is an example of a time varying parameter. The intensity of solar radiation, measured in a specific location, varies continuously during each day, and the length of each day varies continously through the year.

What is the difference between constant rate and varying rate?

constant rate means that rate which is fixed and can not be changed. varying rate is that rate which is not fixed and can be change easily.

Can a body have a constant but a varying speed and vice's?

no


What is the difference between coefficient and parameter?

In an algebraic expression (or equation), a coefficient is the numerical multiplier for a term. If the coefficient is, itself, a variable, then it is a parameter. For example, the equation of a straight line in 2-d is y = mx + c where x and y are the coordinate variables, m is the parameter which defines the slope, and c is the parameter which defines the y-intercept. Different values of m will give a set of lines with the same intercept, whereas different values of c will give a set of lines with the slope. Varying both, together, will generate all possible lines. By contrast, in the equation y = 2x + 5, 2 is the coefficient of x and 5 is the constant [coefficient]. They are specific values of the parameter whic define a specific line.


Constant voltage power supplies will maintain a constant voltage under varying?

current.


Can a body have a varying speed if its velocity constantif yes?

No, because constant velocity means constant speed and constant direction


What is volts per hertz ratio?

The volts per hertz ratio is a parameter used to characterize the relationship between the voltage and frequency of an alternating current system. It helps maintain a constant magnetic flux in motors and transformers under varying operating conditions. A balanced volts per hertz ratio ensures optimal performance and efficiency in electrical equipment.


Can an object have constant speed and varying velocity at the same time?

No, an object cannot have constant speed and varying velocity at the same time. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If velocity is varying, then speed must also be changing as the object's direction changes.

Speed is usually not constant usually object has what type of speed?

Changing, varying or accelerating


Can an object have a constant speed and the varying velocity at the same time explain?

Velocity is a vector. A vector has a magnitude and a direction. The scalar or magnitude portion of velocity is speed. Velocity is a constant only when both the speed and direction are not varying. Hence, when the speed is changing, the velocity cannot be a constant.
