A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?

A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.

∙ 12y ago"Acceleration" means either speed or direction or both are changing. If direction
is changing, then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.

What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
Is the net force zero if the object is not moving?
Yes, but an object with net force of zero may still be moving. The net force is zero if the object is not accelerating.
Can you get off a horse when it is moving at light speed?
No, you can't it's impossible. No matter can go at the speed of light.
When two forces act on an object in opposite directions in a closed balloon the foresc are?
if a train is accelerating on a curved track at a constant speed is the train acceeratng
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.
Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
How is it possible for a car moving at constant speed be accelerating?
Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.
Is a car taking a turn at a constant speed is accelerating true or false?
is a car faster then a horse answer fals
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
What are the examples of unbalanced force?
Anything that is accelerating or decelerating because it is only balanced when something is moving at a constant speed.
What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
CAN AN Object accelerate and be moving at a constant speed?
Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
