Any object moving in a circle (as in a centrifuge, or a planet in an orbit) is accelerating. More generally, any object that moves in a curve is accelerating (such as a car moving in a curve on the road).

What is an example of something that undergoes acceleration while moving at a constant speed?

An object moving in a circle at a constant speed undergoes acceleration because its direction of motion is continuously changing, even though its speed stays constant. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is directed towards the center of the circle.


An object will have constant acceleration if?

well, something has to be pushed by a constantly growing force. Constant acceleration would occur for example if you drop something in a vacuum. Dropping something in normal circumstances is a nearly constant acceleration too.


Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?

Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.


Which is not an example of an acceleration?

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line is not an example of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.


How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?

There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.


Can an object have a constant speed and a constant acceleration?

Yes, it it's going round in a circle, for example.


What is the formula of uniform acceleration?

There are several formulae that involve uniform acceleration. For example, the definition of uniform acceleration:dv/dt = c or: a = c (where "c" is some constant).


Is something accelerating with a constant speed?

That is possible, for example, if an object moves around in a circle. In this case, the velocity changes all the time; the speed does not.


Is it true that the acceleration of an object is constant?

No, the acceleration of an object is not always constant. An object can have a variable or changing acceleration depending on the forces acting upon it. For example, an object in free fall has a constant acceleration due to gravity, while an object experiencing friction will have a changing acceleration.


Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?

Yes, an object moving at a constant velocity has zero acceleration even though it has a non-zero velocity. For example, a car driving at a steady speed on a straight highway has a constant velocity but zero acceleration.


How can acceleration be constant if it is an increase in speed?

Exactly the same way that the speed can be constant but the distance keeps increasing.If the acceleration happens to be an increase in speed, then "constant" accelerationmeans that the speed will increase just as much in the 7th minute, for example,as it increased in the 4th minute, for example, etc.Acceleration can be the rate at which speed changes. So if the acceleration is constant,then the speed is changing at a constant rate.(Note: Acceleration doesn't have to be a change of speed. It can also be a changeof direction, at constant speed.)


example of a change in acceleration while travelling at constant speed?

An example of a change in acceleration while traveling at constant speed can be observed when a vehicle moves in a circular path or takes a turn. Although the speed remains constant, the direction of the motion changes, which results in a change in velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, this alteration in direction causes a change in acceleration, even when the speed is constant.
