Question

can a body have a constant speed but still have a variable velocity​

Answer 1

Yes this is possible.

One example for this is a car moving in a circular path of fixed radius worth no tangential acceleration.

We find that the car has a constant speed but the velocity keeps on changing at different moments because the direction of the velocity keeps on changing.

This change is direction causes the body to have variable velocity but constant speed.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

__________

You Should First Know

__________

1. Speed is distance covered by the body per unit time
2. Speed is a scalar quantity
3. Velocity is the displacement by the body per unit time
4. Velocity is a vector quantity

Answer To Question ;-

Yes, it is possible that a body have constant speed but varying velocity

This is because

The speed can only change by changing the magnitude but the velocity can be change by changing the magnitude as well as direction

So when the magnitude of a body is constant but it is changing it's speed then it example of given condition

Example :-

• Uniform Circular Motion
