What is the acceleration of a car that is travelingin a straight line at a constant speed?
Bourqca17
You are supposed to divide the change in velocity, by the time. In this case, the change of velocity is zero. Divide that by any time, and you get zero.
Answer 2- The acceleration is zero
- If the speed and direction of an object is constant, then the acceleration is zero m/s2
- The acceleration is defined as the velocity change per time ratio.
- Accelerating means increasing speed. The only way one can accelerate and travel at a constant speed is when he is changing his direction, that is, moving in a circle. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity means speed with a direction. So if the speed is kept constant, the direction has to change for acceleration.

What is the acceleration of car that travels in a straight line at constant speed?
Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration
If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes what is the acceleration?
Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.
What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 135 kilometers per hour?
If a car travels in a straight line with a constant speed, then the car has a constant velocity (determined by direction and speed), and the acceleration is 0.
What is the acceleration of an object that travels in a straight line at a constant speed?
The acceleration is zero in this case.
What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 110 km h?
The acceleration of an object that travels in a constant straight line velocity is zero.
Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
Is your speed constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
Yes as there is no acceleration then the speed which is already there would remain the same as no change in speed is brought out.
If Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 kilometers per second What is the light's acceleration?
Trick question. A "constant speed" automatically means zero acceleration -- there is no change in speed.
Why an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is undergoing acceleration and has a force excert on it?
-- An object with no net force on it continues moving at constant speed in a straight line.If it's not moving in a straight line, then there must be net force acting on it.-- "Acceleration" is the word for the situation where either speed or direction of motion changes.Even if speed is constant, acceleration is present if the direction is changing.
In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
What is the difference between constant speed and constant acceleration?
Constant speed means that speed doesn't change. Constant acceleration means that acceleration doesn't change. (If the acceleration is anything but zero, speed WILL change.)
