Yes, unlike velocity which is a vector and has both magnitude and direction, speed is a scalar and lacks a fixed direction. Therefore you can have constant speed in a circular motion and a centrally directed acceleration which is equal too
a=v2/r
where v in this case would be speed not velocity.
Any body that is constantly changing direction can have constant speed while being accelerated. The change in direction need not by circular, or uniform in any way.
What else can I help you with?
Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
Can a body constant speed still be accelerating with example?
No, a body moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed of the body remains constant, there is no acceleration. For example, a car moving at a steady 60 mph on a straight road is not accelerating.
How can a body be accelerating when moving at constant speed?
A body is being accelerated if its speed OR direction are changing.A satellite in a perfectly circular orbit around the earth ... like a TV satellite ... is moving at constant speed. But, technically, since its direction is always changing, to keep it on a circle, it's experiencing constant acceleration.
Can a body have a uniform speed having an acceleration?
Yes a body can have both a uniform speed and an acceleration. This is because speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it does not depend on direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it does depend on direction. This means that when you are changing direction you are accelerating in that direction. During this time your speed may remain constant. Think about taking a turn in a car. You can put on enough gas to keep you at 20 mph but you are still changing direction so you are accelerating.
When are you most aware of motion in a moving vehicle - when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelerating?
You are most aware of motion in a moving vehicle when it is accelerating, as you can feel the change in speed more distinctly. When the vehicle is moving steadily in a straight line, the sensation of motion becomes less noticeable because your body has adapted to the constant speed.
Is it possible for a body to have acceleration if the speed is constant?
Yes. Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
What is the condition in which a body moving with uniform speed has a variable velocity?
The condition in which a body moving with uniform speed has a variable velocity is when the direction of motion changes even though the speed remains constant. This means that the object is accelerating, even though its speed does not change.
Can a body have a constant velocity and still have a varying speed?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
Can a body have a constant velocity and still have varying speed?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
Can a body have constant speed and still have a varying velocity?
Yes, if you are going in a circle or otherwise changing direction.
When is a body consider with constant speed?
when a body move with uniform speed
When the Moon revolves around the Earth at constant speed is the Moon accelerating?
-- "Acceleraion" means a change in speed or direction of motion. -- The path of an orbiting body is curved at every point, so its direction is constantly changing. -- So an orbiting body is being constantly accelerated, even if its speed isn't changing.
