Can a body have constant velocity and have a varying speed?

Expert Answer:
Speed is the rate of change of distance and velocity gives the rate of change of displacement, i.e, its magnitude is speed as well as it has direction.
Hence, a body can have constant speed and still have varying velocity. For example: A body moving with 1 m/s due east and then with 1 m/s due west.
A body having constant velocity means its magnitude as well as direction remains same. Hence, a body having constant velocity will not have varying speed.

- A passenger in a train with speed 72 km/h observed another train coming from the opposite direction with speed 32.4 km/h. What's the length of the second train if it crosses the passenger in 10s?
- the speed necessary to go into orbit around the earth is 8km/h.it is also necessary to travel about 200 km in order to get out of the atmosphere suppose a rocket can reach their speed after travelling 200 km under constant acceleration what could be the acceleration
