Here's why:
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Speed is the rate at which an object moves, while direction is the path it takes.
Therefore, an object can be moving at a constant speed but changing its direction, resulting in a change in velocity.
Example: Imagine a car driving in a circle at a constant speed. The car's speed remains the same, but its velocity changes constantly because its direction is constantly changing.
