An object can accelerate while travelling at constant speed, but not at constant velocity, Is it true ? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes , the direction fo an onject can change at constant speed . If is so when an object is moving on a circular path with constant speed. Now it hat centrpetal acceleration. The cpmstamt velpcoty shows zero acceleration.

    does speed of satellite remain constant in an orbit ? Explain.

    A body can have constant speed and still have varying velocity.

    If a particle is moving with a constant velocity, what is its acceleration?

    An object moving in a circular path at constant speed has constant

    Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity. Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.
