What is does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.
What term refers to the rate of change of speed?
Acceleration or dv/dt
What is the formula for constant speed?
§Constant speed means that the speed of the object under consideration is not changing, the direction of movement may or may not change.
If a car travels at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. Acceleration is the change in velocity(speed) over a period time.=====================================Another contributor bristled:Sorry. Velocity and speed are not two different words for the same thing.Velocity means speed and direction, and acceleration means any change in velocity.If the speed is constant but the direction is changing ... like turning a corner or drivingon a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.
What does constant term mean?
It means a term that cannot ever change, no matter what happens to the equation that it is part of.All numbers are considered constant terms.
You are driving north on a highway Then without changing speed you round a curve and drive east Does your velocity change?
Yes it does. In physics, the term velocity means both speed and direction of motion, not just speed, so if you change direction you change velocity.
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.)

Change in motion?
It means any change in -- speed -- direction -- or both. Constant or 'uniform' motion means steady speed in a straight line.
What term means the rate at which an object moves?
speed
What term means speed in a certain direction?
velocity
What is change in the speed of an object?
A change in the velocity is produced by a force acting on the object. A change in velocity means a change in speed or direction (or both).
What does change in motion mean?
It means any change in -- speed -- direction -- or both. Constant or 'uniform' motion means steady speed in a straight line.
What term used to describe the rate of an objects movement?
Speed is the rate of movement in any direction based on change in position for a change in time. Velocity is a change in speed. It is also a change in direction while the speed does not have to change.

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.
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.
