Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.

If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds like

a constant to us.

What accelerates while traveling at constant velocity?

An object in uniform circular motion undergoes constant acceleration but moves at constant "speed".Constant "velocity" means no acceleration.


Why is circular motion an example of constant acceleration?

Actually it isn't. In circular motion, even if you assume a constant speed (the simplest case), acceleration is towards the center. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time - and therefore, the acceleration changes all the time.


Can a body be in motion but 0 acceleration?

Yes, a body can be in motion but have zero acceleration if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, so if velocity is constant, acceleration is zero even though the body is in motion.


How can acceleration occur when speed is constant?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Even if an object's speed is constant, acceleration can still occur if the direction of the object's motion changes. For example, when an object moves in a circle at a constant speed, it is undergoing acceleration towards the center of the circle due to the change in its direction of motion.


Which characteristics of motion could change without changing the velocity of an object?

Some characteristics of motion that could change without changing the velocity of an object include acceleration, direction, and position. For example, an object moving in a circle at a constant speed has a changing acceleration (centripetal acceleration), changing direction, but constant velocity. Similarly, an object can change its position while maintaining a constant velocity if it moves along a straight path.

What is Motion without acceleration?

Motion without acceleration is when an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. In this scenario, the object's velocity remains constant and there is no change in its speed or direction.


Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?

It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)

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.


Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?

Yes, an object can have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration. This occurs when the object is changing its direction but not its speed. For example, in circular motion, the object's velocity is constantly changing direction, leading to a nonzero acceleration even when its speed is constant.


What is the definition of motion graph?

Constant acceleration motion can be characterized by motion equations and by motion graphs. The graphs of distance, velocity and acceleration as functions.


The velocity of a body was noted to be constant during five minutes of its motion What was its acceleration during this interval?

The acceleration of the body was zero during this interval because its velocity was constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity does not change, the acceleration is zero.

What is the Difference between Uniform motion and uniform acceleration?

Uniform motion is when an object moves with a constant speed in a straight line. Uniform acceleration is when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate. In uniform acceleration, the speed of the object increases or decreases by the same amount over equal time intervals.
