Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?
Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.
Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?
Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.
Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?
It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
As long as an object travels in a straight line at a steady speed it velocity is what?
That's the definition of constant velocity. Also a good description of zero acceleration.
Does a particle moving in a straight line have acceleration?
A particle moving in a straight line may or may not have acceleration. Acceleration is adifferent phenomenon altogether. the rate of change of velocity is acceleration, a particle can move in a straight line with a constant velocity thus having no acceleration & it can also move with increasing or decreasing velocities thereby accelerating or deaccelerating.
Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?
Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.
What is formulas finding speed and velocity?
velocity = distance / time There are also some formulae involving acceleration; for example, in the case of constant acceleration: velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time If the acceleration is not constant, an integral is used instead.

What is light's acceleration if its traveling at a constant speed of 300000 km s?
It has no acceleration. The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so if it is traveling at a constant speed, it has no acceleration. Also, the speed of light is a constant, which means it does not change.
Is it possible for a car to be accelerated at a constant?
Mathematically speaking, it is possible, since acceleration means an increase in velocity (or speed with respect to a point), for some time at least. However, the car must travel from a very slow speed for acceleration to be constant. Also, another method is for the car to not move at all. This is usually not accepted by acceleration but by definition of velocity and acceleration, it is considered constant zero acceleration. Velocity is the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. By definition, velocity = 0, acceleration = 0.
If A car travels down the highway at 55 mph its speed is what and its acceleration is what?
Acceleration is zero since 55 mph is velocity and it is constant. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity. The speed is the absolute value of velocity so it is also 55.
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
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.)
What is the acceleration of an object at a given time?
A particle moving with a constant velocity has no acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is constant, there can be no acceleration. For you Calculus junkies, dv/dt (v is velocity) is acceleration, and will equal zero if v is a constant.
What is formula for aceleration?
There are, of course, several formulae that involve acceleration. The basic definition of acceleration is: acceleration = delta velocity / delta time, that is, to get average acceleration, divide the difference of velocity by the time that passed. The same formula also gives you the instant acceleration, if the acceleration is constant. If you want to get instantaneous acceleration, and the acceleration changes, then you need calculus: acceleration = dv / dt (that is, take the derivative of the velocity).
