Turning is acceleration, and it doesn't affect your speed. One example of this is a satellite in orbit, it is always accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, but the speed doesn't change because it's just turning in a circle around the Earth.

Can you have velocity without acceleration?

Yes, a body can have aceleration without velocity. Consider sin x the position; cos x is the velocity and -sin x is the acceleration. Here the acceleration negative when x=90 degrees and the velocity is zero at 90 degrees.


Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?

No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.


How to find acceleration without using force?

You can use the basic definition of acceleration, as a change of speed. In other words, measure the velocity at some moment, and at a later moment. Then divide the change of velocity by the time.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Why is constant velocity not acceleration?

Constant velocity means that an object is moving at a consistent speed and in a straight line, without any changes in direction. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes with time, so if there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration. So, an object moving at a constant velocity does not have any acceleration.


Are velocity and acceleration related?

Yes. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


What is the equation for change in acceleration?

accelaration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Therefore the formula for acceleration is a =(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) divide by the (change in time)


Is velocity the same as acceleration?

No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity.


Does acceleration change when time changes?

Acceleration can change as time changes if there is a change in the velocity of the object. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so any change in velocity will result in a change in acceleration.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?

An object traveling at constant velocity cannot have acceleration because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. If the velocity of an object is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


What is the change in velocity over time?

The change in velocity over time is known as acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. Acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken for that change to occur.


Does velocity differ from acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
