Question

Can a body has a constant speed and still have varying velocity? if yes, give example.

Answer 1

1. If a body travels at a constant speed on a circular track, its speed remains constant, but the velocity is non-uniform since the body's direction changes every time.
2. Uniform Circular Motion (UCM) is a simple example (Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed).
3. Consider a car traveling in a circular path at a constant speed. The car's speed is constant, but its direction is constantly shifting.
4. Velocity is a vector quantity, it fluctuates as the direction of motion varies.

So, even if a body's speed is constant, its velocity varies.
