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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).

Why do you always accelerate when you ride in a merry go round even though the speed of the merry go round does not change?
A person on a merry-go-round is constantly accelerating away from the center, because he is prevented by the horse or bench from continuing on a straight path. His velocity constantly changes in direction.

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.
A merry-go-round horse moves at a constant speed but at a changing?
. . . velocity, because one of the components of velocityis the direction of the speed.
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.
What is the formula for computing acceleration if we are given constant speed and time?
If you have a constant speed, you are not accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerateing and to stay at a constant speed?
its not, if ur accelerating ur not staying at a constant speed.
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.
