Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed if yes explain giving example?

Yes, it can. Perhaps the simplest example is when an object moves at constant speed, in a circle. In this case, the speed doesn't change; the velocity does.


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed if yes explain giving examples?

Yes, an object can be accelerated even if it is moving at a constant speed if the direction of its velocity changes. This change in velocity, even if the magnitude of speed remains constant, indicates acceleration. For example, if a car is moving around a circular track at a constant speed, its direction is changing constantly, resulting in acceleration.


What does positive velocity means?

Positive velocity refers to an object moving in the positive direction along its path. It indicates that the object is moving forward or in the direction of increasing position. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude (speed) and direction.


Does motion of seconds hand of a watch represent uniform velocity?

No, the motion of the seconds hand of a watch is not an example of uniform velocity. The seconds hand moves in a circular motion at a constant speed, rather than moving in a straight line at a constant velocity. Uniform velocity refers to motion in a straight line with a constant speed.


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.

If A car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity?

Not necessarily. Constant velocity also means no change in direction.


What is an object that moves with constant position?

An object that moves with constant position will have constant velocity or acceleration. This is said to be moving in positive direction and maintains the position.


Why is it that their is an acceleration when a car is moving?

There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.

What is an example of constant speed with changing velocity?

Velocity is a vector, thus it has a direction. Therefore, you can change the velocity by changing direction. A great example of this is a ball on a string spinning at a constant speed, but it is continually changing direction, therefore, even though the speed is constant the velocity changes at every instant.

If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


Can an object have a constant speed and a varying velocity at the same time?

Yes, for example, if it moves in a circle.


If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?

The velocity increases at a constant rate.
