Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.
(1)Yes if the body is travelling with uniform speed in a circular track its speed remains the same but the velocity is non-uniform as the direction of the body is changing every time.
One simple example is what we call Uniform Circular Motion (Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed). For example, consider a vehicle moving with a constant speed on a circular path. Here, the speed is constant, but the direction of the vehicle is changing continuously. As we know, velocity is a vector quantity, so as the direction of motion changes, velocity also changes.
(2) No, a body can not have its velocity constant, while its speed varies. Rather, it can have its speed constant and its velocity varying. For example in a uniform circular motion.
The velocity ofan object can be changed by:
Change of speed
Change of direction
And in a uniform circular motion, the direction isnot always the same, rather, it keeps changing. While the speed can remain the same. So in this way, the velocity can vary and the speed can be constant. But the vice versa is never possible.
Thanks and Regards
