No. Circular motion can have constant speed but varying velocity.

Constant speed means constant speed in any direction, like a car on cruise control

turning a corner.

Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line. If the direction changes,

that's considered a change in velocity.

What is the similarity between constant speed and acceleration?

If the speed is constant then equal distances are covered in equal intervals of time If acceleration is constant then equal change in velocity occurs in equal intervals of time.


What happpens to a car moving at a constant speed as it turns a corner?

The car undergoes a change in velocity. 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).


What is a synchronous motor?

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.


What is uniform circular motion?

Uniform circular motion describes motion in which an object moves with constant speed along a circular path.In physics, uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant speed. The distance of the body from the axis of rotation remains constant at all times. Though the body's speed is constant, its velocity is not constant: velocity, a vector quantity, depends on both the body's speed and its direction of travel. This changing velocity indicates the presence of an acceleration; this centripetal acceleration is of constant magnitude and directed at all times towards the axis of rotation. This acceleration is, in turn, produced by a centripetal force which is also constant in magnitude and directed towards the axis of rotation.

What do you mean when you talk about Constant Speed?

When people talk about Constant Speed, they mean non stopping speed at the same speed. For example if someone runs 10 miles at the same exact speed every day, people would say that he/she runs with constant speed.

If the speed of an object does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?

It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.


What does it mean to travel at a constant speed?

Travel at one speed for a period time e.g on a 30 mph road you would travel at a constant speed of 30 mph

What does constant velocity mean?

It means moving at a constant speed ... not speeding up or slowing down ... and in a straight line.

Can an object accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time?

No, an object cannot accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which includes speed or direction. If an object has a constant speed, it means there is no acceleration occurring.
