Can the velocity of a particle vary even if speed is constant?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, the velocity of a particle can vary if the direction of motion is changed. For example when a particle moves in circular path its magnitude remains same in the whole journey but its direction of motion changes, continuously.
