An object with constant velocity has positive acceleration?
An object with constant velocity has no acceleration.
What is the acceleration of a object that moves at constant velocity?
Acceleration is change of velocity. If velocity is constant ... "no change" ... then acceleration is zero.
Which has zero acceleration an object at rest or moving at constant velocity?
An object at rest has a constant velocity of zero. Both the object at rest and the object moving at constant velocity have zero acceleration.
An object with constant velocity is said to have a constant acceleration true or false?
False. An object at constant velocity is at zero or no acceleration. Of course, if the acceleration is always 0, then it is a constant acceleration of zero.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?
No. An object traveling at a constant velocity is not accelerating.
If an object is moving with constant velocity what do you know about it's acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
The constant velocity of a falling object?
A falling object doesn't have constant velocity.It has constant acceleration. That means that its velocity increases at a steady (constant) rate.The rate is called the "acceleration of gravity".
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
Can acceleration be constant?
An object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second is known asconstant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second. Although an object with a constant acceleration should not be confused with an object with a constant velocity.
Can an object be moving at a constant speed and acceleration?
When the acceleration is at constant 0, then the velocity will be constant.
Does an object moving at constant velocity have zero acceleration?
yes the acceleration is at zero because there is no change in acceleration if the velocity is constant
Is it possible to have an acceleration with constant velocity?
No, the definition of acceleration is the increase change in velocity over time. An acceleration can also be a decrease in velocity over time. Constant velocity refers to an object that maintains the same velocity as time progresses. If the object has an acceleration, its velocity will not remain constant. In the case of rotational velocity there is a constant internal acceleration that has the magnitude v2/r
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.
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
If there is acceleration (uniform or otherwise, but non-zero acceleration), the velocity changes. Constant velocity means that the velocity does not change.
If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
Can an object have Zero acceleration and non-zero velocity?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
An object traveling at a constant 20 miles per second in a circular path is changing what?
This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.This object is changing its position, its velocity, and its acceleration.
Can and object have Constant velocity and variable acceleration?
No because acceleration is a change in direction or velocity. If yo
Can an object with constant velocity be accelerating?
No, since acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. If there is no change, there is no acceleration.
Can the velocity of object reverse direction when its acceleration is constant?
yes, if the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity.
If an object is being accelerated can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
Formula for distance traveled?
There is not enough information to answer the question. The answer depends onis the object travelling at constant velocity?is the acceleration constant?If it is an object travelling with constant acceleration, which three of the following four variables are knows: initaial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time.
When does an object move with constant velocity?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
When the speed of an object is doubled what happens to the acceleration?
Acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time. Once the object has a constant velocity, its acceleration will be zero.
