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 velocity
changes, 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.
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.
No, it isn't possible. Velocity specifies both speed and direction; if velocity doesn't change, that means that neither the speed nor the direction change.
No, an object cannot have constant velocity and variable speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant.
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 constant speed.
no
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.
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.
Yes, an object can have a constant speed but varying velocity if it changes direction while moving at that speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed but changing direction, then its velocity is constantly changing even though its speed remains the same.
Yes, for example, if it moves in a circle.
No, it isn't possible. Velocity specifies both speed and direction; if velocity doesn't change, that means that neither the speed nor the direction change.
No, an object cannot have constant velocity and variable speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant.
No, because constant velocity means constant speed and constant direction
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
Velocity can change even if speed is constant.
