An example of a change in acceleration while traveling at constant speed can be observed when a vehicle moves in a circular path or takes a turn. Although the speed remains constant, the direction of the motion changes, which results in a change in velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, this alteration in direction causes a change in acceleration, even when the speed is constant.
What else can I help you with?
How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
If the speed of an does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?
It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.
Which is not an example of an acceleration?
An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line is not an example of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.
If the speed of an object does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?
It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.
When the velocity of a particle is constant its acceleration is also constant?
When the velocity of a particle is constant, it means there is no change in speed or direction. Therefore, its acceleration is zero because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is constant, there is no change to be measured, so the acceleration is constant at zero.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
How can acceleration occur when speed is constant?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Even if an object's speed is constant, acceleration can still occur if the direction of the object's motion changes. For example, when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, it is undergoing acceleration towards the center of the circle due to the change in its direction of motion.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?
An object traveling at constant velocity cannot have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of an object is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.
A car is moving at a constant speed is it accelerating?
This is one of those theoretical situations, like the frictionless surface you will see in physics problems. The short answer is that no, a car travelling at a constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is a change in velocity over time. Velocity is speed, so if you have zero change in velocity over a period of time, you have acceleration of zero. In the real world, you will have other factors acting on the vehicle, which would affect the acceleration.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car who is traveling along east with a constant velocity?
acceleration is the change in velocity by change in time (often meters/second/second). so, if a car was travelling 10m/s and ten seconds later, it is travelling 20m/s in the same direction, the acceleration would be (20m/s-10m/s)/10s=1m/s/s. with a constant velocity the change in velocity is zero (x m/s - x m/s)/y s=0m/s/s and acceleration is also zero.
Why is circular motion an example of constant acceleration?
Actually it isn't. In circular motion, even if you assume a constant speed (the simplest case), acceleration is towards the center. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time - and therefore, the acceleration changes all the time.
