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.
