constant velocity
No acceleration present
Constant velocity describes motion in a straight line at an unchanging speed—both direction and rate remain fixed.
In physics, this state requires zero net force acting on an object, per Newton's first law.
A CV joint (constant-velocity joint) in automobiles transmits power through changing angles while maintaining uniform rotational speed.
