If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.

Can a particale accelerate if its speed is canstant?

No, a particle cannot accelerate if its speed is constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then the acceleration is zero.


A situation when you can accelerate but the cars' speed doesn't change?

"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction. If the direction of your motion changes, then there is acceleration, even if your speed doesn't change.


How can you accelerate by decreaing speed?

In physics, "acceleration" means change of velocity.


Can an object accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time?

No, an object cannot accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which includes speed or direction. If an object has a constant speed, it means there is no acceleration occurring.


Do you have to change speed in order to accelerate?

Yes, in order to accelerate, you need to change your speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so increasing or decreasing your speed is necessary to accelerate in a specific direction.


What is the accelerate?

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time, for linear (constant) acceleration it is calculated by: (End Speed -Start Speed)/time taken


Does a car accelerate when it goes around a corner at a constant speed?

yes an acceleration is a change in speed and when you go around a corner you change your speed.


A situation in which you can accelerate even though you speed does not change?

"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction of motion, or both.If you change direction ... like turning a corner ... then there is acceleration,even though your speed is constant.Anything traveling on a circular track, even at a constant speed, has constantacceleration.


How could an object accelerate was still traveling at a constant speed?

An object can accelerate while still traveling at a constant speed if it changes direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the speed remains constant, a change in direction would still require acceleration.


Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.


3 ways to accelerate?

To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).


What is the verb for acceleration?

The verb for acceleration is "accelerate." It refers to the act of increasing the speed or rate of something.
