Is it possible when a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed?

Yes. "Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means any change in speed
or direction of motion. If the body is moving on a curve, even at a constant speed,
its direction is changing, so there is acceleration.

Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?
It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".
A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?
It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.
What is the difference between speed and acceleration in phisycs?
Speed - is something moving at a constant rate. Acceleration is an increase of the rate an object is moving.
If an object is moving in a circle with a constant speed Its acceleration is constant in what?
It is constant in magnitude. It is changing in direction.
What would be the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.191 meters per second to the right?
If he is moving at a constant speed and not changing direction, then acceleration is zero.

How is it possible for a car moving at constant speed be accelerating?
Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
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 it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
What is the acceleration of a car moving at a speed of 50mph?
If the speed is constant at 50 mph, then the acceleration is 0.
Can a body moving at constant speed have a non-zero accelertion?
Constant speed means constant velocity. Constant velocity means an object is covering same distance in equal intervals of time. So how is it possible to have acceleration. Acceleration means speed is increasing with equal intervals of time. So its not possible according to my logic.
Examples of constant speed but changing acceleration?
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.
A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?
It's not possible. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, so if the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is zero, so is the net force.

Under what conditions is it possible to have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration?
A body can have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration when it is in a circular motion because though it is having a constant speed but the direction in which it is moving keeps changing at each instance and since acceleration is a vector quantity,it becomes non-zero.
What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
