Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Velocity and Speed**: - Velocity is defined as a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction. - Speed is the magnitude of velocity and is a scalar quantity. 2. **Definition of Constant Speed**: - When we say an object has constant speed, it means that the magnitude of the velocity does not change over time. ...
