The term accelerating means increasing in speed, so if a car holds its speed steady at 65 mph, it is not accelerating. It is still running its engine, to overcome air resistance and other forms of friction, but that is not the same thing as acceleration.
When a car is travelling at a steady speed, the driving force from the engine is equal to the total resistive forces acting against the car, such as air resistance and friction. This balance of forces allows the car to maintain a constant velocity without accelerating or decelerating.
No, a body moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed of the body remains constant, there is no acceleration. For example, a car moving at a steady 60 mph on a straight road is not accelerating.
When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will stay steady at a particular speed. When the car is accelerating, the needle will move clockwise indicating an increase in speed. When the car is decelerating, the needle will move counterclockwise indicating a decrease in speed.
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.
A car can be traveling at a constant speed but still be accelerating if its direction changes. Acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the car maintains a constant speed along a curved path, it is still accelerating due to the change in its direction.
If something is traveling at a "steady" speed, it can't be accelerating.
Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.

That's just the rev of the car. This means you are accelerating too fast. Go nice and steady.
Yes. Even though its speed doesn't change, its velocity does change, therefore it is accelerating.
Frame of reference is the measurement or observation that tells you that a car is accelerating. It uses the second law of motion to tell you rather or not the car is accelerating.
It depends on which direction you are resolving the acceleration from. If you use the original direction of the car as it turns it is decelerating as the speed it is moving in that direction is decreasing. If you resolve from the direction which the car will be going towards then it is accelerating as its speed in that direction is increasing.
0. "Constant speed" means it is not accelerating.
