* It covers equal distances in equal time intervals. This is the defining characteristic of constant velocity.
* It doesn't change direction. Constant velocity means the object is moving in a straight line at a steady speed.
* It experiences no net force. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If the velocity is constant, the net force acting on the object must be zero.
Examples:
* A car driving on a straight highway at a steady 60 mph.
* A ball rolling across a frictionless surface at a constant speed.
* A satellite orbiting the Earth at a constant speed and altitude.
Important Note:
* Constant velocity doesn't necessarily mean the object is at rest. A moving object can still have constant velocity if it's moving at a steady speed and in a straight line.
