Kinetic energy will be constant, but total energy (KE+PE) might not be. If the car, say, is climbing a hill at a steady speed, its KE is constant, but the work done by the engine is being used to increase PE.

If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Can constant velocity be zero?

Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.


What are the conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity or the move with increasing velocity?

A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.


How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?

Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength


As a block slides across a horizontal surface with constant velocity describe the changes of the energy that would occur within the block.?

As the block slides with constant velocity, its kinetic energy remains constant. The work done by friction converts some of this energy into heat, resulting in a decrease in the block's internal energy. Overall, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) of the block does not change.


What is the nature of graph between kinetic energy and mass when velocity is constant?

When velocity is constant, kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. This means that as mass increases, kinetic energy also increases proportionally. The graph would be a straight line with a positive slope.


Can an object have constant velocity and but variable speed?

No, an object cannot have constant velocity and variable speed. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant.


What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?

If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.


What is the slope of a constant velocity?

constant slope. really anything will work as long as it stays the same. so if your line is straight then you have a constant velocity. :)


Why pressure is inversely proportional to velocity in bernoulli's equation?

Usually in a streamlined motion the sum of three heads have to be constant always. They are pressure head velocity head and gravitational head In case of horizontal pipe gravitational head is already a constant Now velocity head + pressure head = constant So as velocity head increases then automatically pressure head has to fall.


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.


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.
