"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity, thus if velocity is constant then there is no change, and hence the acceleration would be zero. A =change in velocity/time A=0/anything = 0

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Constant velocity means zero acceleration.

What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?

Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?

acceleration


Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?

Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.


When the velocity of a moving object stay the same it has?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.


When the velocity of a moving object stays the same it has a?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.


If an object has zero acceleration what two things could be true about its velocity?

The velocity does not change direction or magnitude. The object 1) may not be moving, or it 2) may be moving at a constant velocity. In the case of the latter, that means it's moving in the same direction and at a constant speed.


What is the word that means zero velocity?

Any object which is at rest has zero velocity, for example a rock on the road. car parked at lane, a motor which is not moving or stop. a man sleeping. home office statue of liberty. anything that is at rest has zero velocity.


Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?

Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.


When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?

When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)


What is an object that moves with constant position?

An object that moves with constant position will have constant velocity or acceleration. This is said to be moving in positive direction and maintains the position.
