If the velocity is constant, it follows that the the sum of all forces on the ice skater is zero.

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 difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


Can an object have a varyong speed if its velocity is constant?

No, if an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must also be constant. Velocity is a vector quantity that accounts for both the magnitude (speed) and direction of motion, so if the velocity is constant, both speed and direction will remain the same.


If you were standing in an enclosed car moving at constant velocity would you have to lean in some special way to compensate for the car's motion?

No, if the car is moving at a constant velocity, there is no need to lean in any special way to compensate for its motion. Your body is also moving at the same constant velocity as the car, so you will not feel any effect of the motion.


Why achanging velocity cannot maintaining constant speed?

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. If the velocity is changing, it means either the speed, direction, or both are changing. Therefore, if the velocity is changing, the object cannot maintain a constant speed.

You are pushing a kg wooden crate across the floor. the force of sliding friction on the crate is 90 N. how much force must you exert on the crate to keep it moving with a constant velocity?

To keep the crate moving with constant velocity, the force you exert must balance the force of sliding friction. In this case, you must exert a force of 90 N in the opposite direction of the sliding friction, so the net force on the crate is zero and it remains in motion at a constant velocity.


How can you determine the speed of an object that has constant motion if you have a distance vs time graph of the motion?

If constant motion means constant velocity then, total distance / total time = avg velocity => avg speed constant velocity => avg velocity = velocity


If a hockey puck is set in motion across a frozen pond if ice friction plus air resistance are neglected the force required to keep the puck sliding at a constant velocity is?

If you have eliminated all resistance then the initial force will be enough.


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

No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.


If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero. The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.


In which type of motion is the average velocity of an object equal to its instantaneous velocity?

The average velocity of an object is equal to its instantaneous velocity in uniform motion. Uniform motion occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in a straight line, resulting in a constant velocity throughout the motion.


Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?

Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.


What is a definition for the scientific term constant motion?

It is motion in a straight line at a constant velocity.


What is a motion with a constant velocity?

It is called uniform motion because the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time which is why it has a constant velocity.


Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?

It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)


What is The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as?

The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion with a constant velocity is known as inertia.


What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?

Constant motion occurs when an object maintains a constant speed and direction, while accelerated motion involves a change in speed or direction, resulting in an acceleration. In constant motion, there is no change in velocity, whereas in accelerated motion, velocity changes over time.
