Speed is a measure of about how fast something moves. Velocity is the more accurate and exact description which must include both the speed and the direction of the object. Human walking speed is about 3 miles per hour. The car's speed was 60 km per hour.

∙ 12y agovelocity on which earth is rotating on its orbit.
A car driving north at 60 mph.
There could be another car, driving east at 60 mph.
The cars have equal speeds. But their velocities are different, because velocity is made up of
speed and direction.

What is an Example of constant velocity?
constant velocity means the speed and direction are the same.
When is an object's average velocity equal to its instantaneous velocity?
If the velocity is constant (i.e., there is no acceleration). Terminal velocity is an example, although any constant velocity would fit this description.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
Can a body have constant velocity when it has constant speed?
Of course. In fact, in order to have constant velocity, it must have constant speed.What you really want to know: Can a body have changing velocity when it has constant speed ?The answer to that one is also "yes", for example when it is moving in a circle, the speed is constant but the velocity is changing all the time (in direction).
What is an example of an object moving at constant speed and constant velocity?
Photon or rather light
What is speed that does not change - called?
constant
What is an example of constant speed with changing velocity?
Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.
What is nature of velocity in constant speed?
Velocity magnitude is unchanging at constant speed. The direction might change (velocity is a vector with both size (speed) and direction) if , for example, you are driving around a curve at a constant speed.
What is an example of constant speed with a change in velocity?
rotational motion
Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?
Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.
What is an example of something at constant speed but not constant velocity?
You are driving your car with cruise control but you steer around a bend in the highway. The cruise control keeps your speed constant, but by steering you change your direction and thus your velocity is not constant.
Can an object have a constant speed and a varying velocity?
Yes. Velocity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. If speed is constant but the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing. An example is a car turning a corner without slowing down.
