Why does a car traveling at constant speed can accelerate while a car at constant velocity connot?
The question is inherantly flawed. A car traveling at a constant speed cannot accelerate, if it could it's speed would not be constant. "Constant speed" means that speed is not increasing or decreasing but remain consistent over time. For example, if you cover 10 feet during each second, your speed is constant. "Constant velocity" implies constant speed, but it has an additional constraint: you can't change your direction. If you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a straight line, then your speed is constant and your velocity is constant. But if you travel constantly at 10 feet per second in a wiggly line (or a circle, or anything not straight), then your speed is constant but your velocity is NOT constant. If you travel at a constant speed but change direction, velocity is changed. Or if you travel in the same direction but change the speed, velocity is changed. Average speed is is easier: distance/time So, your question should read: Why can a car traveling at an average speed accelerate, but a car traveling at constant speed cannot? Or Why am I asking the wrong questions?
Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at constant speed in a straight line on the kitchen counter?
The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph The total displacement divided by the time.

An object has initial velocity in the upward direction a final velocity in the downward direction and undergoes constant acceleration What can you say about its average acceleration?
If, as you say, its acceleration is "constant", then the average is exactly equal to that constant.
If a car is traveling at the same speed for a long time it is said to be traveling at?
The answer is that u r travelling with an average speed for that time or a constant speed . it also means that u are travelling with a uniform velocity.
What does the driver check while looking a the speedometer?
The driver checks the average speed of the car, which is the distance per hour is going. Average speed is the constant speed something is traveling at.

If the speed of an object does not change the object is traveling at what speed?
there's four speed. There are constant speed, average speed, increasing speed, and decreasing speed. choose one of them

What is the formula of constant an average speed?
average distance/average time
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
What is the difference between constant speed and average speed?
Average speed is a representation of all your speeds between two points, constant speed is just unchanging speed.
What is the average food allowance for a traveling businessman?
$100

If, as you say, its acceleration is "constant", then the average is exactly equal to that constant.
