An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating.
An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.

What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?
No. An object traveling at a constant velocity is not accelerating.
If an object is accelerating can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
What is zero accelaration?
When an object is not accelerating at all. It has constant velocity.
How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object Amust not be moving Bmust be miving with constant velocity Cmust not be accelerating Dnone of these?
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
The condition of an object such that it is not accelerating is?
In a constant state of motion (which may actually be stationary).
Can an object be accelerating if it has a constant velocity?
No. The definition of 'acceleratiion' is 'any change in velocity'.
What cause an object to be accelerating in a straight line?
A constant force in the direction of the line
What would you call it when air resistance the force of gravity and a falling object stops accelerating?
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
