Motion with constant velocity is a special case of motion with constant acceleration?
Motion with constant velocity is motion without acceleration. That is, there is no force being applied to the object in motion. One could argue that the acceleration is constant in that case, but the constant value is zero.
Now, general relativity tells us that gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable from each other for a point mass being affected by either (meaning that if you're accelerating, you cannot tell just by the effect of the force whether it's due to an actual force, F=ma, or another massive object causing gravitational attraction). So in some ways, one could argue that the force of gravity is identical to constant acceleration. The difference is that gravity is caused by the presence of mass which "warps" space-time, so the acceleration felt is actually caused not by a force acting directly on the object, but the object is moving at a "constant velocity" in the equivalent flat (non-warped) space-time, and due to the presence of another mass causing a gravitational attraction, acceleration is felt.
Think of it as standing on the center of a mattress. Your weight causes the middle of the mattress to push down, and if you had something like a Basketball sitting in the corner of the mattress, it would begin rolling toward you. In that example, the mattress is space-time, the basketball the body in motion, and you the mass causing gravitational attraction.
In that sense, since the object would be moving at a constant velocity in a flat space-time (like the ball sitting still on the mattress), warping space-time does not apply a true force to the ball, the causes it to appear to accelerate nonetheless. This appearance is due not to a force acting directly on the ball, but acting on the space-time in which it inhabits.
What else can I help you with?
Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?
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 likea 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.
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.
Can a body move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion?
No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.
An object has initial velocity in the upward direction a final velocity in the downward direction and undergoes constant acceleration What can you say about its average acceleration?
The average acceleration of the object will be negative since it changes direction from upward to downward velocity. The acceleration will be constant because the object undergoes constant acceleration throughout the motion.
Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?

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.
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)
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.
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 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.
Can a body move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion?
No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.
An object has initial velocity in the upward direction a final velocity in the downward direction and undergoes constant acceleration What can you say about its average acceleration?
The average acceleration of the object will be negative since it changes direction from upward to downward velocity. The acceleration will be constant because the object undergoes constant acceleration throughout the motion.
Can an object acceleration if its velocity is constant?
No. It is a matter of definition. Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity. Technically, one must distinguish between velocity and speed. Velocity is a vector and includes the information about the magnitude (speed)and direction. One can have a constant speed and an acceleration (as in circular motion) but, by definition, constant velocity means zero acceleration.
