Yes. This is exactly the case when an object is thrown on the surface of the Earth. Consider an (American) football thrown in the air. This ball has the force of gravity accelerating it downward, but there is no force acting on it horizontally, thus there is no acceleration horizontally. As a result, since acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, the velocity in the vertical direction is changing, whereas the velocity in the horizontal direction is not.

What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?

If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.


What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?

A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.


What is the acceleration of uniform motion?

Uniform motion means "constant speed in a straight line".That's another way of saying "zero acceleration".


How do you find the uniform acceleration if the speed and acceleration are given?

Find out the time using speed and acceleration, (time=speed/acceleration) and then use it to find out uniform velocity. From that find out uniform acceleration. (as uniform acceleration is equal changes of velocity over equal intervals of time)


Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?

It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".


What will be the acceleration of a car moving in a uniform acceleration?

The acceleration of a car moving with uniform acceleration will remain constant. This means that the rate of change of its velocity will be consistent over time, resulting in a steady increase or decrease in speed.


What will be the accelaration of a car moving in circle with uniform speed?

The acceleration of a car moving in a circle with uniform speed is directed towards the center of the circle and is called centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is given by the formula a = v^2/r, where v is the speed of the car and r is the radius of the circle.


How is it possible for a car moving at constant speed be accelerating?

Not possible, acceleration dV/dt =0.


Is the statement 'a body moving with uniform speed along a circular path is subjected to uniform acceleration' true or false justify?

This statement is true. This type of movement is called Uniform Circular Motion. For every circular motion at constant speed, there is a constant radial acceleration (always pointing towards the center of the circle) named centripetal acceleration. This constant acceleration ensures that at every moment during the motion the orientation of the velocity is changed so that the object stays in a circular path.


When a body moving with uniform and negative acceleration?

When the body is in simple hermonic motion


Can uniform angular velocity has acceleration?

No, uniform angular velocity implies that an object is moving in a circle at a constant rate. Since acceleration is defined as any change in velocity (either speed or direction), if the angular velocity is constant, there is no acceleration present.


Under what circumstances can an object moving with an constant speed (uniform magnitude oits velocity) have an acceleration?

When the direction changes. A simple case is an object moving in a circle, at constant speed.
