Here's why:
* Constant Speed: Means the object covers the same distance in equal intervals of time. Think of a car driving on a highway at a set speed limit.
* Steady Rate: Indicates that the object's velocity (speed and direction) isn't changing.
Important Note: While constant speed implies a steady rate, it doesn't necessarily mean the object is moving in a straight line. An object moving in a circle at a constant speed still has a constant speed, but its velocity is changing due to the changing direction.
