It just does, in the absence of other forces ( ie air and rolling resistance ), that is to say under ideal conditions, a constant force on a fixed mass will produce uniform acceleration (velocity change)
acceleration ( (m/s)/s ) = force (newtons) / mass (kg)

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration
To calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you need to know the initial velocity, final velocity, and the time it takes for the change in velocity to occur. Acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity over time.
Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for this change to occur. This can be represented by the equation a = (v_f - v_i) / t, where a is the acceleration, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, and t is the time taken for the change.
Acceleration occurs with centripetal motion because the direction of motion is constantly changing, even if the speed remains constant. This change in direction results in an acceleration towards the center of the circular path, known as centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is necessary to keep an object moving in a circular path and prevent it from moving in a straight line.
That the force that causes the acceleration is not constant.
A particle moving in a straight line may or may not have acceleration. Acceleration is adifferent phenomenon altogether. the rate of change of velocity is acceleration, a particle can move in a straight line with a constant velocity thus having no acceleration & it can also move with increasing or decreasing velocities thereby accelerating or deaccelerating.
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
The acceleration of an object moving in a straight line at a constant speed is zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity and thus no acceleration.
Only the acceleration brings a change in velocity.
Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.
The acceleration of an object that travels in a constant straight line velocity is zero.
