Answer:
Constant speed: yes
Constant velocity: no
Explanation:
Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:
- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:
- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.
In this problem, we notice that:
- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h
- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.
