No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.

Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?

No. An object traveling at a constant velocity is not accelerating.


Can an object be accelerating if it has a constant velocity?

No. The definition of 'acceleratiion' is 'any change in velocity'.


What is zero accelaration?

When an object is not accelerating at all. It has constant velocity.


If an object is accelerating can its velocity be constant?

No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.


Can an object be accelerating with constant velocity?

No, since acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. If there is no change, there is no acceleration.


An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?

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.


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.


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.


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


What happens when an object reaches terminal velocity?

It stops accelerating, and falls the rest of the way at constant speed.


If an object starts to accelerate?

If an object moved with constant acceleration it's velocity must ?


Why is it easier to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction if the object moves with a constant velocity?

if moving with constant velocity the only force to slow it down is kinetic friction; if it is accelerating velocity is not constant and an additional force is being applied.
