1 G is not a velocity. (actually G is not a unit or constant at all, g is the gravitational attraction at sea level on Earth). With an acelleration of one g (lets use 10m/s2 for easier calculations, it's actually almost 2% less) the distance to Pluto (average 5913520000 km) would be covered by computing:

s = 1/2 at2(given starting from rest) Where:

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t we get:

t = SQRT (2*s/a)

So The square root of 2*5913520000000/10 or 1087522 seconds

About 12 days and 14 hours, not all that long eh?

The problem is getting that acceleration to last that long...

If the velocity is constant describe th slope?

The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.


If velocity is constant then what is the true accelleration?

In a theoretical scenario with constant velocity, the true acceleration would typically be zero.


What would have to be true for the velocity to be constant?

the speed would have to change.


What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?

The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed


Can a body move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion?

No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.


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.


What would the net force be on an object moving at constant velocity?

In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero


Can instantaneous velocity equal infinity?

No, in the physical world nothing can reach an infinite speed, as it would gain infinite mass which is not possible. In Math, you could have the velocity equal infinity for theoretical purposes, but the constant C, the speed of light, would be a better choice.


Is velocity always constant?

It seems like you need to put more info into the question. Just think if you're talking about cars, if they were all a constant speed, the word overtaking would never need to exist


What is a graph of uniform velocity?

A graph of uniform velocity would be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without changing its velocity.


How long would it take to reach the planet Pluto from Earth?

The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!


How long would it take for NASA to reach Pluto?

Light years.
