The definition of acceleration is: Any change of velocity, that is, speed

or direction of motion.

If an object is undergoing constant acceleration, then the definition says

that its velocity must be changing.

When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?

When a body has constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so if velocity is constant, there is no change and hence no acceleration.


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.


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.


The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?

acceleration. If the velocity of an object changes at a constant rate, this implies it is accelerating or decelerating at a constant rate, regardless of its initial velocity.


Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?

No, if an object is traveling at a constant velocity, it means that its speed and direction are not changing. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, so an object with constant velocity by definition cannot have acceleration.


When velocity changes by the same amount over each time period acceleration is?

Acceleration is constant.


Can you go around a curve with constant velocity?

Yes, it is. Trajectory also depends of direction of acceleration, not only it's magnitude. When you consider circular orbit, the agnitude of centripetal acceleration is constant, but the vector directions changes every moment to point constantly at the center.


Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?

If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.


Why is the velocity 0 when your speed is constant?

It's not. If you speed is constant (but not zero), then your velocity won't be zero, either.You may be confusing this with the following: If your VELOCITY (not your speed) is constant, then your ACCELERATION is zero. Acceleration refers to how quickly velocity changes, so if velocity doesn't change at all, acceleration is zero.


Why at a constant speed if an object changes its direction it is considered to be acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as any change in velocity, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. When an object changes its direction while moving at a constant speed, it is still accelerating because its velocity is changing due to the change in direction. This change in velocity, even if the speed remains constant, is what defines it as acceleration.
