Hey mate here is your answer...

A body can have a constant speed buta changing velocity because the direction can change while the speedis constant. ... However, a body cannot have a constant velocity with a changing speed. A car can not be slowing down yet still be going the same speed and direction.

Hii...

So, your answer is " Yes " .

Basically , velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction.

And, speed is a Scalar quantity which has only magnitude.

So, when a particle moves on circular path with constant speed i.e. with constant magnitude ...it's direction is always changing.

So here we can see..body have constant speed but variable velocity.

hope this helps :)
