Can a rapidly moving body have the same acceleration as a slowly moving one?

An object's inertia is its resistance to changes in its motion and mass is the quantitative measure of inertia. Strictly speaking the object's inertia will become larger the faster it goes. But at typical speeds it is unmeasurable or barely measurable . Only when the object's speed is near the speed of light is there a large change in its inertia.

∙ 10y agoYes they can, an object moving with a velocity 100m/s could have the same acceleration as 1m/s. Both of them could be moving at constant speed, therefore they would have an acceleration of 0m/s^2.
Definition of acceleration is 'the rate of change of velocity as a function of time'.

∙ 7y agoYes, velocity is acceleration x time. If acceleration is the same, velocity can be different as it changes with time. For example a car accelerating with constant acceleration will have a different velocity after 5 seconds than it will have at 2 seconds.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, same acceleration can act on bodies at different speeds.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoActually they have the same moving acceleration in most cases. Sometimes though if you drop a feather or a pencil, the pencil will drop first.

When a body moving with uniform and negative acceleration?
When the body is in simple hermonic motion
Is it possible when a body to have acceleration when moving constant speed?
Yes. "Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means any change in speedor direction of motion. If the body is moving on a curve, even at a constant speed,its direction is changing, so there is acceleration.
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.
When are velocity and acceleration perpendicular to each other?
When body is moving in a circle.
If the displacement of a body is proportional to square of time will the body be moving with uniform velocity or uniform acceleration?
Let us suppose that the displacement is given by, x = kt2 , where k is constant of proportionality. Therefore, velocity of the body, v = dx/dt = d(kt2)/dt = 2kt Since, velocity depends on time ,the body is not moving with uniform velocity.... Again, acceleration of the body, a = dv/dt = d(2kt)/dt = 2k As the acceleration is independent of time , the body is moving with uniform acceleration..
What affects the acceleration of a moving body?
Force! Acceleration a=f/m, the force F changes the acceleration.
What happens to the velocity of a moving body if you change the speed at which the body is moving?
The velocity changes. called acceleration.

When the body is in simple hermonic motion
Is it possible for a body to have acceleration when moving with constant veloctiy?
No, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

When body is moving in a circle.
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 can cause velocity to change?
acceleration, due to a force the moving body is affected by. SUM[Forces] = mass * acceleration --> change in speed.
Examples of constant speed but changing acceleration?
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.

No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
