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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a body can have a constant speed but a varying velocity, we need to analyze the definitions of speed and velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Speed and Velocity**: - Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. It is the magnitude of the velocity vector. - Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of the object and the direction in which it is moving. ...

Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity. Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

Give an example of motion of a body moving with a constant speed, but with a variable velocity. Draw a diagram to represent such a motion.

Assertion : An object may have varying speed without having varying velocity. Reason : If the velocity is zero at an instant, the acceleration may not be zero at that instant.

An object may have ( a) varying speed without having varying velocity (b) varying velocity without having varying speed (c) nonzero acceleration without having varying velocity (d) nonzero acceleration without having varying speed.
