Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude.

It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.

When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a what speed?

When the velocity of a moving object stays the same, it has a constant speed.


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

Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.


What has a velocity and acceleration vector in the same direction?

An object with a constant acceleration and velocity in the same direction will have both vectors pointing in the same direction. This occurs when an object is moving in a straight line with a constant speed while its velocity is also increasing at a constant rate.


When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?

As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a speed?

constant


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a speed's?

constant


Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?

If an object's velocity is constant, it will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction due to Newton's first law of motion. Unless an external force is applied, the object will maintain its state of motion.


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.


What is the slope of a constant velocity?

constant slope. really anything will work as long as it stays the same. so if your line is straight then you have a constant velocity. :)


What is an example of an object moving at constant speed and constant velocity?

An object moving in a straight line at a speed of 50 km/h with a constant velocity of 50 km/h in the same direction is an example of constant speed and constant velocity.


Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?

If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
