What is acceleration of a Car that is going at a steady speed of 50 mph?

The acceleration of a car at a steady speed of 50 mph is zero. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so when the car is maintaining a constant speed, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


A constant speed has a slope of zero on a graph because no acceleration is taking place?

That would be true, in the case of a graph of speed vs time.


Can your body sense constant acceleration and explain?

your body can sense constant acceleration. For example, you can sense a car speeding up or slowing down or a plane taking off, because the organs inside your body have inertia and they tend to stay in their present state of motion when other parts of your body are changing their state of motion. This difference can be sensed by nerves throughout your body.


What is the energy transfer that is taking place?

The energy transfer that is taking place refers to the movement of energy from one object or system to another. This transfer can occur in various forms, such as thermal (heat), mechanical, electrical, or electromagnetic energy. During the transfer, energy is converted from one form to another, but the total amount of energy remains constant.


Why is it not a good idea to assume that the mass is constant in a bottle rocket?

Assuming that mass is constant in a bottle rocket is not ideal because as the rocket fuel is burned and expelled, the mass of the rocket decreases, leading to changes in its acceleration and velocity. This can impact the accuracy of predictions related to the rocket's trajectory and performance. Taking into account the changing mass allows for more precise calculations and design considerations.

Why aeroplane need more energy when taking off and landing than cruising?

Taking off requires acceleration to a sufficient speed for the plane to be lifted by the air; acceleration takes a lot of energy, maintaining speed takes less energy. Landing is complex because the plane has to maneuver into exactly the right position and speed in order to land on the landing strip, so that also consumes energy. In principle, if you could land anywhere at any speed (for example, if you were crashing into the ocean) that doesn't require any energy because gravity does it for you. But that's not how planes normally land.

What is the acceleration of an object that moves at constant velocity?

It is called constant velocity. Rate is just another word for velocity. This, however, is dependant upon the path the object is taking. If it is moving in a parabolic path, or a curve of some sort (anything but a straight line), then the object is actually accelerating (as acceleration is a change in velocity OR direction.)


What does the acceleration of the ball decreases mean?

of what ball are you taking about? Because deceleration can act in different ways!

yea it can moron lol jk

Average velocity always equals one-half the sum of the initial and final velocities?

Is this a question? or a statement that you are unsure of? Well anyways, this would be correct if acceleration was a constant but if acceleration is not a constant, the (not-constant) acceleration would change the rate of velocity and thus that statement/question would be false.


Why do I have no energy?

You do not have energy probably because you are not taking enough carbohydrates and enough water.


Is acceleration directly proportional to mass?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. Net force is equal to the mass times acceleration, taking this into consideration we can clearly see that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.By Armah Ishmael Ryesa

Can a body have a uniform speed having an acceleration?

Yes a body can have both a uniform speed and an acceleration. This is because speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it does not depend on direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it does depend on direction. This means that when you are changing direction you are accelerating in that direction. During this time your speed may remain constant. Think about taking a turn in a car. You can put on enough gas to keep you at 20 mph but you are still changing direction so you are accelerating.
