Why does cursive v sometimes look like u?
Lowercase v needs a sharper turn and a clear exit stroke. If the bottom is too rounded, it can look like u.
Is capital V in cursive usually connected?
It can be connected, but many readable cursive styles treat capital V as a strong starting letter with a clear exit into the next letter.
