Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.

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).


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

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.


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.


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.


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.

Compare the tension of a train with constant speed and acceleration?

Unless the train is in a curve, you cannot have constant speed and constant acceleration. You either have constant speed and zero acceleration, or you have changing speed and constant acceleration. Please restate the question.


For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?

constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.


How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?

Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.


What kind of speed has no acceleration?

A constant speed has no acceleration. When an object is moving at a constant speed, its velocity remains the same over time, and there is no change in acceleration.


How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?

There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.


Why does acceleration change when speed does not?

Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.

What is the difference between constant speed and constant acceleration?

Constant speed means moving at a steady rate without any change in velocity, while constant acceleration means changing the velocity by the same amount in each unit of time. In other words, constant speed is uniform motion, while constant acceleration is when the velocity is changing at a constant rate.


Can an object with constant speed be accelerating?

No, an object with constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed of an object is constant, its velocity is not changing and therefore there is no acceleration.


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

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration


What happens to an objects speed if it travels with constant acceleration?

If an object travels with constant acceleration, its speed will change at a constant rate over time. The object's speed will increase if the acceleration is positive, decrease if it is negative, and remain constant if the acceleration is zero.


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.
