give an example of motion of a moving body with a constant speed, but with a variable velocity.
Answers
Hi there,
______________________
speed is a scalar(independent of direction)
velocity is a vector => change in direction brings about change in velocity even though the magnitude of velocity is constant..
and also magnitude of velocity is always ≤ value of speed
(bcause velocity involves displacement unlike speed where always distance can b more)
so... whenever the direction vector of a body changes with constant velocity magnitude...
its velocity is said to b changing.... same case with momentum...
best example for a body with constant speed but a variable velocity is a body in circular motion.... because the direction vector of velocity is constantly changing not invoking any change in the magnitude of velocity...

Answer:
a car moving in a circular motion
Explanation:
a body moving in a circular motion changes its starting and ending point by time but countinuously covers a distance
(velocity depends on the discpalcement )
