Circular Motion

An object in circular motion always has a changing velocity, because of changing direction.

Is there any way to have constant velocity with circular motion? I don't see how if your direction is always changing.
Question below was asked on a passage.

Question: If the net force and net torque on an object are both zero, what can you conclude?
Answer: The object 'may' be in motion.

The object may be in motion, but not circular motion.....right?

It can have constant angular velocity ( which goes counterclockwise or clockwise) but it doesn't have constant tangential linear velocity which is constantly changing


Ah I think I misunderstood your question... Not sure if what I said applies... I sometimes get confused when to think about circular vs angular motion. Sorry about that!
