Absolutely. It happens all the time, and in many more places than you might think. First we need to look at how we think about acceleration. If we consider that a change in vector is also a change in speed, or velocity, then any object that is constantly changing it's vector in angular momentum is under acceleration but does not change its actual speed, just direction. So then every star, and every planet, in motion is under constant acceleration and at the same time maintains the same velocity, or speed.

Another thing to consider is Einstein's Theory of General Relativity which says that an object under the influence of gravity, but stationary, like us standing on the surface of the Earth, is very much the same as the same object that is being accelerated by the same force of gravity, or G-force. So that means as you are standing on the ground, you are actually being 'accelerated' towards the center of the Earth, even though you are maintaining a constant velocity, or speed.

When is a object said to be accelerated?

When it moves with a non constant speed .


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed If yes explain giving examples.?

Yes, it can. Perhaps the simplest example is when an object moves at constant speed, in a circle. In this case, the speed doesn't change; the velocity does.

What is an object that moves with constant position?

An object that moves with constant position will have constant velocity or acceleration. This is said to be moving in positive direction and maintains the position.


If an object moves in the same direction and at a constant speed for 4 hours which of the following is true?

a. The object's speed changed during the 4 hours.b. The object's velocity did not change.


When an object moves with constant velocity what happens?

Constant velocity means that the object's speed is constant, and it moves in a straight line, i.e. the direction of its motion is also constant. When an object moves in a manner consistent with this description, probability dictates that sooner or later, it bumps into something.


What does it mean for an object to have constant velocity?

It means that the object moves in a straight line at a constant speed.

If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?

If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.


The motion of an object that moves at a constant rate?

its uniform.


What is The motion of an object that moves at a constant rate?

Uniform.
