How can a car accelerate if its speed is constant?
It can Accelerate by changing it direction as acceleration eing a vector is dependant on the direction so by changing its direction one can accelrate it keeping the speed constant.
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
Can a body accelerate without speeding up or slowing down?
Yes. Acceleration does NOT mean 'speeding up', or even 'slowing down'.'Acceleration' means any change in the speed or the direction of motion. Soif you take a curve at constant speed, there is acceleration present while yourdirection is changing around the curve.An object in a closed curved path ... like a race car in a circular or oval track, or a planetor moon in a closed curved orbit ... is ALWAYS accelerating, even if its speed never changes,because its direction is constantly changing.
What is velocitation mean?
In a vehicle, it is a tendency to accelerate without noticing, because you thing your speed is lower than it actually is
What is the verb for the word accelerate?
Accelerate is already a verb. For example, "to accelerate something" is an action and therefore a verb. Another verb would be speed. "To speed something up".
How can a car accelerate if its speed is constant?
It can Accelerate by changing it direction as acceleration eing a vector is dependant on the direction so by changing its direction one can accelrate it keeping the speed constant.
How does a skater not accelerate?
By not changing their speed. Technically, this means also not changing their velocity, which includes direction. So, you don't accelerate if you skate in a straight line at a constant speed. Otherwise, you are accelerating, even if your speed does not change.
Why do you consider a moving object to accelerate even when it slows down or chnges direction without changing speeed?
Because that's the definition of "accelerate". "Accelerate" doesn't mean "speed up", although that's how everybody who rides in a car uses the word. "Accelerate" means "change the speed or the direction of motion, or both".
When an object accelerate what can it do?
When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.
Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?
No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
What is it called to travel without changing speed?
You have a constant speed.
How can you accelerate if your speed does not change?
A change in the vector or direction that you are traveling is considered an acceleration; even if you don't change speed. This would be the case for going around in a merry-go-round, e.g. You are accelerating (changing direction), but the speed is constant (velocity is changing).
What three changes can each cause an object to accelerate?
Three objects that can cause an object to accelerate is, increasing speed, decreasing speed, & changing direction.-Ms. Stroes/Chibudu's Science Class! :)

What acceleration of a car accelerate even thought your speed don't change?
If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.
What are the requirements for an object to accelerate?
Velocity must be changing in order for an object to accelerate or decelerate.
