Solution

The correct option is A True

Explanation :

  1. An object can have a constant velocity but changes its velocity because it can change direction while the velocity is constant.
  2. For example, in a smooth circular motion, the velocity of an object is constant, but the velocity changes at any point during motion.
  3. The speed changes each time the direction changes.
  4. Hence, the given statement is true.

Therefore, yes, a body has a constant speed but variable velocity.
Hence, the above statement is true.
