What do you mean by uniform velocity? Is it possible for velocity to be considered while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
If the object changes direction while it is maintaining its speed, it is considered to have non-uniform velocity. For velocity to be uniform, or constant, its magnitude and direction must remain constant. The magnitude of velocity remains constant as long as an object covers equal amount of distance in equal intervals of time. The magnitude of velocity is also called speed. Speed is a scala
Explanation:
Velocity is a vector quantity. These quantities, which include velocity and acceleration, are defined by both their magnitude and their direction. For this reason, a change in velocity can occur either through a change in the magnitude of the velocity or a change in the direction that the object is traveling or both. Since velocity is also defined by its direction, having a constant speed is not sufficient for an object to have uniform velocity. If the object changes direction while it is maintaining its speed, it is considered to have non-uniform velocity. For velocity to be uniform, or constant, its magnitude and direction must remain constant. The magnitude of velocity remains constant as long as an object covers equal amount of distance in equal intervals of time.
