Mathematically speaking, it is possible, since acceleration means an increase in velocity (or speed with respect to a point), for some time at least. However, the car must travel from a very slow speed for acceleration to be constant. Also, another method is for the car to not move at all. This is usually not accepted by acceleration but by definition of velocity and acceleration, it is considered constant zero acceleration.

Velocity is the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

By definition, velocity = 0, acceleration = 0.

An object can be accelerated even though its speed remains constant give an example of such a situation?

An example of an object being accelerated even though its speed remains constant is a car traveling down a hill. Even if the driver maintains constant pressure, the car will accelerate due to the incline of the hill.


What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?

Constant motion has a constant speed, and accelerated motion has an accelerating speed! [getting faster] :)


How is it possible for a car moving at constant speed be accelerating?

Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.


How do you use the word accelerated in a sentence?

The car accelerated out of the garage and struck a lamppost. With government funding, the project proceeded at an accelerated pace.


If an object is being accelerated can its velocity be constant?

No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed velocity?

yes


When is a object said to be accelerated?

When it moves with a non constant speed .


Why your car feels accelerated?

It may be hard to believe, but it feels accelerated because it actually is!


Can an object be accelerated if it has a constant speed?

Yes. Acceleration means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,then that's acceleration, even if speed is constant.


Do four wheel spin when a car is accelerated?

no


Can a body move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion?

No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.


Is motion of a balloon ascending at a rate of 14 meter per second is accelerated or decelerated?

since the balloon is moving up with a constant speed it is not accelerated or decelerated
