Can a body have a constant velocity but a varying speed?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Velocity and Speed:** - Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement and is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. - Speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity that only considers the magnitude of motion. 2. **Definition of Constant Velocity:** - For a body to have a constant velocity, both the speed and the direction of the body must remain unchanged over time. ...
