Can a partical, moving with a uniform speed have a non-uniform velocity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Speed is a scalar quantity having only magnitude. But velocity is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction. Hence if a particle having uniform speed changes its direction, its velocity will become non-uniform. Example: uniform circular motion.
