Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. using complete sentences, describe the object’s velocity during the course of the elliptical orbit. comment on both the magnitude and the direction

1) See explanation below, 2) False.

Explanation:

1) The velocity of an object is equal to the instaneous rate of change of its position vector in time with respect to a reference point. Each component of the vector represents the rate of change of the position component in time.

2) An object moving in a circle at constant speed has a constant magnitude but a changing direction, meaning that velocity vector is not constant. Hence, the statement is FALSE.
