For knowing how an airplane flies at constant speed, follow this link:

I can't explain this in detail in writing but you can understand very well from this site

Can an object have constant velocity and but variable speed?

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.


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. :)


Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?

Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.


What accelerates while traveling at constant velocity?

An object in uniform circular motion undergoes constant acceleration but moves at constant "speed".Constant "velocity" means no acceleration.


An aeroplane flying at a constant velocity releases a bomb. As the bomb drops down from the aeroplane what will be the position of the bomb with respect to the plane?

There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
