If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.

In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?

A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.


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.


On a V-t graph how does constant acceleration appear?

On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).


What is Motion without acceleration?

Motion without acceleration is when an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. In this scenario, the object's velocity remains constant and there is no change in its speed or direction.


What is the Difference between Uniform motion and uniform acceleration?

Uniform motion is when an object moves with a constant speed in a straight line. Uniform acceleration is when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate. In uniform acceleration, the speed of the object increases or decreases by the same amount over equal time intervals.

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration


Is your speed constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?

Yes as there is no acceleration then the speed which is already there would remain the same as no change in speed is brought out.


If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes what is the acceleration?

Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.Constant speed (in a straight line) means there is no acceleration.


If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?

No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.


Compare velocity from acceleration?

Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)


Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?

No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.


What is the acceleration of an object that travels in a straight line at a constant speed?

The acceleration of an object moving in a straight line at a constant speed is zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity and thus no acceleration.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speen of 100km h?

The acceleration of the car is 0 m/s^2 since it is traveling at a constant speed and not changing its velocity.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?

An object traveling at constant velocity cannot have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of an object is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


What is the Acceleration of a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes?

As long as the 30 minute are spent driving in a straight line, the acceleration is zero.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 135 kilometers per hour?

If a car travels in a straight line with a constant speed, then the car has a constant velocity (determined by direction and speed), and the acceleration is 0.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?

No, if an object is traveling at a constant velocity, it means that its speed and direction are not changing. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, so an object with constant velocity by definition cannot have acceleration.
