change in velocity can also occur with change in direction as it is a vector with speed and direction; so a satellite may have constant speed but remaining in orbit has a centripetal acceleration; its direction is changing.
Its momentum (defined as mass x velocity).
The earth is in orbit about the sun. It plods along in its orbit at close to 30 kilometers per second. But it is not moving in a straight line, as you know. It is following the curve of its orbital path. Earth's inertia and the gravitational attraction between the sun and the Earth are in equilibrium here, and though its speed is constant, its direction of travel is actually changing from moment to moment. That means its velocity is constantly changing. (Note that the actual speed of earth varies a bit through its orbit, but from moment to moment, the change of speed is miniscule.)Speed is distance (displacement) per unit of time. In this case, we have 30 km/sec for the earth. But when we consider velocity, we find that velocity is speed plus a direction vector. Though the speed of the earth is constant in its orbit, it is constantly changing direction and following its orbital path. Earth has a constant speed in its orbit, but its velocity is constantly changing because the direction it is traveling changes from moment to moment.
The velocity of a car is the speed at which it is moving and also the direction in which it is travelling. It might be 55 miles per hour east, or 35 miles per hour southwest, or just about anything else like that.
It depends. If the projectile goes straight up and straight down, its velocity will be zero at the top. If the projectile is a baseball about halfway between the pitcher and the bat, its velocity might be 150 km/h.
The odour of a gas is the gas itself, the speed of the gas moving is dependant on the various factors such as wind and pressure difference.

"Constant velocity" means neither the speed nor the direction of the object's motion is changing. "Rest" is just one kind of constant velocity ... the kind with zero speed. The condition for an object's velocity to remain constant is: Either there are no forces acting on the object, or else all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. If there is any NET force acting on the object, then its velocity will change ... it will either speed up, slow down, or curve in a new direction.
For the same reason anything else changes velocity in a different medium, I would say. A change of electromagnetic impedance in this case
By changing its direction.

Because at normal driving speed, everything in the car is moving at the same velocity. When you hit the brakes, only the car is decelerating. Everything else that is not attached to the car, either by seat belt (such as your body) or other restraining device is still moving at the initial velocity as the car previously was. Thus, the purse flies forward, because its velocity is greater than the car's new velocity.
The same as anywhere else. The distance covered in a short time, divided by the time, and you make that time tend to zero to give the linear speed at any instant. Strictly velocity is a vector so besides having magnitude equal to the speed it has a direction, along the tangent if the object is moving in a curve.
a = w2r = v2/r where a is acceleration w is angular velocity r is radius of orbit v is velocity.
