Yes, IF it maintains constant speed on the track. The academic definition of velocity is speed and the associated direction, a vector. A car traveling in a circle is constantly changing direction. However, most people, including physicists when they are not writing textbooks, treat velocity and speed as interchangable such that a car going a constant speed on a circular track would be considered to have a constant velocity even though the direction in which it is traveling is constantly changing.
What else can I help you with?
How is circular motion accelerated motion?
"Acceleration" means a change in velocity. And "velocity" is a vector - meaning that not only the magnitude, but also the direction is relevant. So, if the direction of the movement changes, the velocity changes by definition, even if the MAGNITUDE of the velocity (also known as "speed") doesn't change.
When an object does circular motion what is constant?
When an object is performing circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant, while the velocity is constantly changing due to the direction changing. The centripetal force required to keep the object moving in a circle is also constant.
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 is the relationship between velocity, omega, and radius in circular motion?
In circular motion, velocity is directly proportional to the radius and angular velocity (omega). This means that as the radius or angular velocity increases, the velocity of the object in circular motion also increases.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant?
Yes, it can. Initially, an object will be accelerating downward (with an acceleration equal to g - f, where f is the force of air resistance). During this period, mass is constant but velocity is continually increasing, so momentum increases as well. However, because f is dependent on v (the speed of the object relative to the air), at a certain velocity, the force of air resistance will equal gravity, and the object will stop accelerating (this velocity is known as "terminal" velocity). At this point, the object will fall with constant speed, and momentum will remain constant.

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.
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.
If a satellite's radial velocity is zero at all times its orbit must be elliptical or parabolic?
Not necessarily. A circular orbit around a central body, such as a planet, would also have a radial velocity of zero at all times. In a circular orbit, the satellite's velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius vector, resulting in a constant radial velocity of zero.
When can an object a constant speed but not a constant velocity?
If the velocity is constant there is no acceleration. Speed is not velocity, velocity has speed and direction. I A car going around a circular track at 60 mph keeps the same speed but changes direction and thus accelerates at a constant speed. Velocity is speed in a certain direction. So change the speed but keep direction the same and you change the velocity. or Change the direction while keeping the speed the same and you change the velocity. If the speed is constant, any change of direction is a change in velocity. Driving around in a circle is a case of constantly changing direction.
If A car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity?
Not necessarily. Constant velocity also means no change in direction.

In circular motion, velocity is directly proportional to the radius and angular velocity (omega). This means that as the radius or angular velocity increases, the velocity of the object in circular motion also increases.

Can a body moving with uniform speed have variable velocity?
Yes it can.When a body moves in a circular path keeping its speed uniform then it will have variable vilocity as vilocity is the speed in a particular direction and while moving in a circular path its direction keeps changing and so does vilocity
Is it correct to assume a motion of constant speed?
It depends on your setting. If the net force on an object is zero than the object will move with a constant speed. It will also move with a constant speed (but not velocity!) if a force forces the object to move in a circular motion.
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.
