IS refractive index a dimensional constant?

It is adimensional, meaning it is notdimensional.


Can an object have constant velocity and non-zero acceleration?

To be very technical regarding the language of the question, No.The question specifies "constant velocity" ... meaning constant speed AND direction.If either of these is changing, then acceleration is present.But if the question meant to say "constant SPEED", then the answer is Yes. An object may be traveling at constant speed, but if its path is not a straight line, then there is acceleration present.


Why velocity is not constant if satellite travels with constant spped at a fixed elevatiopn?

Speed is a scalar quantity meaning it has only magnitude. Velocity is a vector meaning it has magnitude and direction. Whilst the satellite's speed is constant its direction is constantly changing. If its direction didn't change it would fly off in a straight line. Since its direction is changing, the velocity must be changing. And also since the velocity is changing, the satellite is also accelerating (towards the centre of the earth).


What is the acceleration of a car that is going at a steady speed of 60 mph?

At a constant speed there is no acceleration. Acceleration describes a positive change in speed meaning to go faster. Deacceleration describes how fast something is slowing down. But at a constant speed of 60mph there is acceleration or deacceleration.


What is the difference between constant and non-constant motion?

Acceleration is the difference between constant and non-constant motion.
