What's the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration?
Instantaneous velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a uniform direction, distance per unit time, at any given instant in time. instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at any given instant in time
Consider a particle moving with constant speed such that its acceleration of constant magnitude is always perpendicular to its velocity?
Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-path-of-a-moving-body-whose-acceleration-is-constant-in-magnitude-at-all-times-and-is-perpendicular-to-the-velocity#sthash.pqrkWxfT.dpuf
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
What is the acceleration of vehicle moving with uniform velocity?
It has zero acceleration!!

Does a particle moving in a straight line have acceleration?
A particle moving in a straight line may or may not have acceleration. Acceleration is adifferent phenomenon altogether. the rate of change of velocity is acceleration, a particle can move in a straight line with a constant velocity thus having no acceleration & it can also move with increasing or decreasing velocities thereby accelerating or deaccelerating.
What is an object doing at the moment it's instantaneous acceleration is zero?
it can be moving at constant velocity or staying still

If the velocity of a particle is nonzero can the particle's acceleration be zero?
yes. If the forces acting on the a moving particle are in equilibrium, (e.g. when a spherical object reaches terminal velocity (neglecting increased air resistance as it gets closer to the ground)) then the particle will be moving at a velocity, that is not 0, yet the velocity will remain constant, and the body will not accelerate or decelerate in any direction, and thus the acceleration is 0.
What is the acceleration of an object at a given time?
A particle moving with a constant velocity has no acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is constant, there can be no acceleration. For you Calculus junkies, dv/dt (v is velocity) is acceleration, and will equal zero if v is a constant.
How are velocity and acceleration different?
acceleration is the increase of speed in a moving object. velocity is the speed and direction of a moving object.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?
There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed and constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?
Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
What is the acceleration of vehicle moving with uniform velocity?
It has zero acceleration!!
