What is the acceleration of an object that moves at constant velocity?

It is called constant velocity. Rate is just another word for velocity. This, however, is dependant upon the path the object is taking. If it is moving in a parabolic path, or a curve of some sort (anything but a straight line), then the object is actually accelerating (as acceleration is a change in velocity OR direction.)

∙ 10y ago'Constant velocity' means constant speed in a straight line.
That's also a good definition of zeroacceleration.

If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
If object moves with constant acceleration its velocity is?
It velocity is constantly increasing, v=vo + at.
What accelerates while traveling at constant velocity?
An object in uniform circular motion undergoes constant acceleration but moves at constant "speed".Constant "velocity" means no acceleration.
What is an object that moves with constant position?
An object that moves with constant position will have constant velocity or acceleration. This is said to be moving in positive direction and maintains the position.
What is the acceleration of of an object that moves at a constant velocity and it net force?
The acceleration of an object with constant velocity is zero. It's force will be Mv^2 where M is it's mass and v is it's velocity.
What is the acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity and what is the net force on the object?
Both are definitely zero
As an object falls freely in a vacuum its?
It moves with a constant acceleration downwards. This means that its velocity is increasing at a constant rate.
When an object moves in a circular path will the velocity change will there be acceleration?
When an object moves in a circular path, the velocity will change and the there will be acceleration.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
What is the difference between object moves wint uniform acceleration and object moves with no acceleration?
An object moving with uniform acceleration has a uniform change in velocity over time, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight line with either a positive or negative slope. An object moving with no acceleration has constant velocity, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight, horizontal line with zero slope. Refer to the related link for illustrations.
Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?
There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
How are motion and acceleration different?
In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)
