How is it possible that body moves with constant speed but changing velocity?

Answer 1

As the earth rotate, you have a constant speed of approximately 1667 km/h but of course your velocity is constantly changing because the direction is changing (around a circle).

Answer 2

Velocity has a directional component. If you are going 30 miles an hour northbound, then make a 30-degree turn to the northeast, then your speed is the same - 30 miles an hour. But your velocity has changed.

Answer 3

velocity is a vector thus takes direction into account , whereas speed is scalar thus does not so and object moving in a circular path would have changing velocity but constant speed

Answer 4

Speed is a scalar quantity, i.e. it has magnitude but no direction

Velocity is a vector quantity, i.e. it has both magnitude and direction.

If for example you are travelling 5m/s north and turn right for example then the speed remains the same but velocity changes because the direction changed.

I hope this helps!

Answer 5

Velocity is a vector quantity, (it has both magnitude and direction.)
Speed is a scalar quantity, (it has magnitude but no direction)
Therefore if u were travelling around a roundabout at 10 mph, even though your magnitude of speed it the same (10 mph), your direction is changing, therefore we will say that velocity is changing.

Answer 6

change in the direction along which the body is moving as simple as that
