Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,

then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.

An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?

An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.


Can an object that move at a constant speed be accelerating?

No, an object moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?

An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.


If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is what?

If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.


Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?

No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.


Can an object accelerates when its speed is constant?

No, if an object's speed is constant, then it is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, which includes both speed and direction. If an object's speed is constant, it means there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


If an object is accelerating can its velocity be constant?

No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.


Speed is usually not constant usually object has what type of speed?

Changing, varying or accelerating


When is an object not accelerating?

An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).


How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?

Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.


If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?

Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.


Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?

Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
