ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Constant linear velocity

Imagine you're riding a bike and you're trying to keep your speed the same. You're not going faster or slower, you're just cruising along at the same steady pace. That's what we call constant linear velocity. It means you're moving at a consistent speed and direction without any changes in speed or direction. It's like being on a train going down a straight track at the same speed the whole time.

Another way to think about it is if you're walking in a straight line without speeding up or slowing down. You're just moving at the same pace the entire time.

Constant linear velocity is important in many areas of science and engineering, especially when studying motion and mechanics. It's a concept that helps us understand how objects move and how to predict their movements based on their speed and direction.
