That would be Newton's 1st Law of Motion.
The motion resisted by a property of matter called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, whether that is staying at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
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.
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
as mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body
This tendency is known as inertia. Inertia is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their motion.
The tendency for matter to resist change in motion is called inertia. Inertia is Newton's first law of motion.
The property of matter that resists changes in motion is inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its current state of motion, whether it is at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
The motion resisted by a property of matter called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, whether that is staying at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
The tendency of a moving object to keep moving in a straight line after the kinetic energy has run out is due to inertia. Inertia is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their motion, so an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
No. It is a matter of definition. Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity. Technically, one must distinguish between velocity and speed. Velocity is a vector and includes the information about the magnitude (speed)and direction. One can have a constant speed and an acceleration (as in circular motion) but, by definition, constant velocity means zero acceleration.
If a car moving in a straight line travels equal distance in equal time no matter how small these distances may be, the car is said to be moving with a CONSTANT or Uniform Velocity.
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.
Inertia occurs when an object resists changes in its state of motion. It is a property of matter that causes objects to remain at rest or continue moving in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
Matter resists a change in motion because of its inertia, which is the tendency of an object to maintain its current state of motion (i.e., either at rest or moving at a constant velocity) unless acted upon by an external force. This resistance to change in motion is described by Newton's first law of motion.
Speed is a scalar quantity (direction does not matter) and velocity is a vector quantity) ie velocity means speed in a specific direction. If you are changing direction (turning) in a car, your speed is the same, while your velocity changes.
That tendency is called inertia. It is a property of matter where objects resist changes in their motion.
All things on Earth have inertia because inertia is a fundamental property of matter. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether that is staying at rest or moving at a constant velocity. This property arises from the mass of the object and is described by Newton's First Law of Motion.
