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.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?
If a velocity or speed is constant there isn't an acceleration. This is because the acceleration is the change in speed or velocity and if it's constant then there sn't a change.
Why is constant velocity not acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. When velocity is constant, it is NOT CHANGING so acceleration is negligible or ZERO or non-existent.
When a ball is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 ms and has been traveling for over 2 minutes what is the balls acceleration?
When something is traveling at a constant velocity it has no acceleration. In other words your answer is 0.
What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?
The velocity has to increase in a positive direction. The increase in velocity in a positive direction is a positive acceleration.
Can something have both a constant velocity and constant acceleration?
No it cannot. It is either one or the other. For constant velocity, acceleration must be 0, meaning there is no acceleration happening here. If there is constant acceleration, then the velocity is constantly changing.
How does the graph velocity vs the look for something with a constant positive acceleration?
an up ward slopeing straight line
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
Does the horizontal line on the velocity vs time graph indicate a constant and positive acceleration?
Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.
When velocity is positive and acceleration is zero what happens to an objects motion?
When acceleration is zero, then the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed. (That's the effective meaning of constant velocity.)
Changing velocty and constant acceleration?
Changing velocity and constant acceleration? Yes. Changing velocity indicates constant acceleration dv/dt = a constant(k) when v=kt. Then dv/dt= dkt/dt= k. the constant k can be positive , negative or 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.
When a body has velocity no constant has acceleration or no?
Yes. If a body has a constant velocity there is no acceleration, but if the velocity is changing there is acceleration present.
What type of acceleration does a trapezium on a velocity time graph represents?
A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
What is acceleration of a rain drop that falls at a constant velocity?
If the velocity is constant then there is no acceleration. The acceleration is zero.
The graph of acceleration vs time for something going a constant positive velocity has what kind of characteristics?
The graph of acceleration vs time for an object moving at constant velocity is a straight horizontal line that coincides with the x-axis, i.e. it's the line [ y = 0 ].
Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
