  • Constant Velocity: Definition, Examples & How to Understand
    An object has constant velocity when it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. This means:

    * Constant speed: The object does not speed up or slow down.

    * Straight line: The object does not change direction.

    Here are some examples:

    * A car traveling at a steady 60 mph on a straight highway.

    * A ball rolling across a frictionless surface at a constant speed.

    * A satellite orbiting Earth at a constant speed and altitude.

    It's important to remember:

    * Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.

    * Constant velocity implies constant speed and direction.
