Velocity is a vector quantity in which both magnitude and direction must be taken into consideration. For an object to have constant velocity, it is necessary that both the magnitude and the direction of the velocity must be constant. Even if either magnitude or direction is variable, velocity will not remain constant. On the other hand, speed remains constant if direction is changed and magnitude is kept constant, as speed is a scalar quantity.

For an object to have constant velocity, it is necessary that the object move at a constant speed and not change course. That object must move in a straight line to have a constant velocity.

An object moving at a constant velocity will?

... continue to do that, until a force is exerted on it.


Is it possible to tell the difference between moving at a constant velocity and not moving at all?

Yes, it is possible. If you are moving at a constant velocity, you will feel no acceleration or deceleration. In contrast, if you are not moving at all, you will feel stationary with no change in velocity.


Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?

Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.


Is it possible for an object moving in constant velocity having varying speed justify your answer?

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.


Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?

No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.


What are diifferent word for object?

a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.


Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?

It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".


Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?

No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.


Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving with constant veloctiy?

No, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


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.


Is it possible for a car moving with a constant velocity to have forces acting on it?

No,because if the car is moving at a constant velocity that means the acceleration is zero. So the net force is zero and there may be some forces acting on it. Only gravity, downward.


Can a body have constant speed as well as variable velocity?

No, constant speed implies that the body is moving at a consistent rate, while variable velocity means the direction of motion is changing. It is not possible for a body to have both constant speed and variable velocity simultaneously.
