centripetal acceleration must be considered.
dont forget gravity!

What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?
A car going at a constant speed is not accelerating (its rate of acceleration is zero).
Does it an acceleration if you go around a corner on bycicle?
A bike does not accelerate when turning a corner. A bike will slow down when going around a corner.
How do you know a moving object's acceleration?
Acceleration is the change in velocity. Velocity is the change in speed or direction. Therefore, acceleration is changing the change in speed or direction. So if you are going at 50mph and then you are going at 55mph and then at 60mph, your acceleration is constant at 5 mph. if the change in accleartion is changing, then it is not constant. If you turn dirctions even while you move at a constant velocity, you are accelerating.
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 does the graph of acceleration vs. time look for something going constant velocity?
a horizontal line

If you are acceleration on your bike around the corner. Are you going fast or not?
yes
Can an object have a constant speed and a constant acceleration?
Yes, it it's going round in a circle, for example.

Does negative acceleration have constant acceleration?
Not necessarily so. Negative (deceleration) could be growing or decreasing in magnitude. The cause is going to be the Force that is acting on the system. If the Force is increasing, the acceleration will be also.
When a car begins to accelerate from rest does the net force increase?
Not necessarily. A constant net force will produce a constant acceleration, that is, the car will continue going faster and faster.
If you are going 50miles hours for 30 seconds what is the acceletation?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity (speed) Thus if your speed is constant (50 miles per hour) your acceleration is zero
What is the formula for acceleration?
a=dv/dt. By definition, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. In mathematical notation, it is given as the formula stated above. Two special cases: 1. When acceleration is constant: The rate of change is a constant. Therefore, it can be calculated by: a=(vf - vi) / t where a is acceleration vf is final velocity vi is initial velocity and t is time taken 2. When velocity is constant: Velocity is not changing. The rate of change of velocity is zero. Acceleration has to be zero. * * * * * Note that velocity and acceleration are both VECTORS. Therefore, an object going round in a circle, at CONSTANT speed, has velocity and acceleration that are changing all the time - because the direction of motion is changing.
