Open in App
Solution

  1. Velocity is a vector quantity, when an object moving with a constant speed may have variable velocity when the direction of motion continuously changes.
  2. The motion of the circular path is an example of the uniform speed with variable velocity.
  3. The motion of the car on a circular track.
  4. Consider a vehicle moving at a constant speed on a circular path.
  5. Here, the speed is constant, but the direction of the vehicle is changing continuously. As we know, velocity is a vector quantity, so as the direction of motion changes, velocity also changes.
