Under what circumstances can an object moving with an constant speed (uniform magnitude oits velocity) have an acceleration?

When the direction changes. A simple case is an object moving in a circle, at constant speed.

Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?
Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with 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.
Can an object acceleration if its velocity is constant?
No. It is a matter of definition. Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity. Technically, one must distinguish between velocity and speed. Velocity is a vector and includes the information about the magnitude (speed)and direction. One can have a constant speed and an acceleration (as in circular motion) but, by definition, constant velocity means zero acceleration.
Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?
Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.
Does the speed of a car moving in a circular path at 15 mph remain constant Or does the acceleration or its velocity remains constant?
The magnitude of the velocity will be constant however the direction will be constantly changing. The acceleration will remain constant towards the centre of the circle
When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
How is acceleration similar to speed and velocity?
-- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of speed. -- The magnitude of acceleration is equal to the time rate of change of the magnitude of velocity. -- Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
What is magnitude of acceleration?
magnitude of acceleration=change of velocity/time invertal
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
When a body has velocity no constant has acceleration or no?
Yes. If a body has a constant velocity there is no acceleration, but if the velocity is changing there is acceleration present.
What is acceleration of a rain drop that falls at a constant velocity?
If the velocity is constant then there is no acceleration. The acceleration is zero.
