It seems like you need to put more info into the question. Just think if you're talking about cars, if they were all a constant speed, the word overtaking would never need to exist

Can you have constant speed but change in velocity?

Yes, you can have constant speed but change in velocity if the direction of motion changes. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the speed remains constant, if the direction changes, the velocity changes.


Can object at constant speed can maintain constant velocity?

Yes, an object moving at a constant speed can maintain a constant velocity if it is moving in a straight line without changing its direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so as long as the direction does not change, the object's velocity will remain constant.


What is the difference between constant velocity and variable velocity?

Constant velocity has speed always constant along the direction with respect to time. Variable velocity changes its speed with respect to time. Constant velocity has zero acceleration. Variable velocity has non-zero acceleration . An object moving at a constant velocity maintains both the same speed and direction. An object moving at a variable velocity can be changing speed or direction of travel or both.


What does constant velocity or acceleration mean?

"Constant" means that regardless of when you measure it, the result is always the same. "Velocity" means speed and its direction. "Acceleration" means the rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.


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.

Can constant velocity be zero?

Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.


If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?

No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.


What is the different between constant velocity and constant speed?

constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.


Is the displacement time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity always a straight line?

A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.

What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.

What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?

If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.


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. :)
