∙ 6y agoAs long as your speed hasn't changed, you are not accelerating.

Explain whether a car can move with changing velocity while maintaining constant speed?
Velocity is a quantity that has magnitude and direction. The magnitude of velocity is what we call "speed".If the velocity is constant, then its magnitude and direction are both constant.Constant magnitude means constant speed.So the answer to the question is "Yes".
Explain why parachutist and snowflakes donot fall with a constantly accelerating motion?
The parachutist and the snowflakes do not fall with a constantly accelerating motion because the velocity changes.
Explain why velocity changes while driving around a circular track even if the speed is constant?
Velocity consists of a speed and a direction. If any of the two changes, the velocity changes.
Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed if yes explain giving examples?
Yes, it can. Perhaps the simplest example is when an object moves at constant speed, in a circle. In this case, the speed doesn't change; the velocity does.
Explain what D-T graph for non-uniform motion looks like?
anything.... since speed and/or direction are changing (and not necessarily at a constant rate), the graph can look like pretty much anything
An ice skater glides around a rink at a constant speed of 2 ms is the skater acceleratng explain your answer?
Acceleration is change in velocity. These are vectors that have magnitude and direction. Changing either magnitude (speed) or direction will have the skater be accelerating. SO, if the skater is going at a constant speed of 2m/s in a straight line, he is not accelerating. If he is at a constant speed of 2m/s traveling in a circle (you gave the word "around"), he is accelerating. Going around in circles means there is a force constantly changing your direction. Obviously that force is coming from the skaters legs.
What is accelerating universe?
An accelerating universe is a theory which describes and seeks to explain the increasing rate of the expansion of the universe.

Can an object have a constant speed and the varying velocity at the same time explain?
Velocity is a vector. A vector has a magnitude and a direction. The scalar or magnitude portion of velocity is speed. Velocity is a constant only when both the speed and direction are not varying. Hence, when the speed is changing, the velocity cannot be a constant.
Can your body sense constant velocity and explain?
Your body cannot sense constant velocity. For example, you cannot sense that the earth is turning nor can you sense that the earth is orbiting around the sun. And, if you are in a vehicle that is traveling with a constant velocity, you cannot sense that you are moving unless your eyes sense a change in position.
If you are applying the brakes on your bicycle are you accelerating explain?
Using brakes slows your speed.

Two buses depart from Chicago and going to New York and one to San Francisco. Each bus travels at a speed of 30ms. Do these buses have equal velocities explain.?
No the two buses do not have equal velocities because VELOCITY is the SPEED in a given DIRECTION. One would have a velocity of +30m/s because it is traveling in one direction, and the other would have a velocity of -30m/s because it is traveling in the opposite direction.
Explain the difference between the constant of a hyperbola and the constant of an ellipse?
In contrast, for an ellipse it is the ''sum'' of these distances that is a constant
