Depending on the situation, acceleration can be any of those.

When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.


Is it possible for an object to have an increasing velocity and an increasing acceleration?

If your acceleration is increasing then by default your velocity has to increase. Acceleration = velocity/time so if acceleration is increasing the velocity is also increasing... And just for fun, just as the change in distance is velocity, and change in velocity is acceleration with respect to time, the change in acceleration with respect to Time is called a jerk


What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?

If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.


Does increasing mass increase acceleration?

No, increasing mass does not increase acceleration. Acceleration is dependent on the force applied to an object and the object's mass. In the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration, increasing mass would actually decrease acceleration if the force remains constant.


What is the graph of increasing acceleration?

The answer depends on what variables are being plotted.

Does the acceleration remain constant if the applied force was increasing?

No. Acceleration is proportional to the applied force.

A horizontal line on an acceleration graph would indicate?

-- constant acceleration -- speed increasing at a steady rate -- distance increasing as the square of the time since everything started


When acceleration increase does velocity increase?

No. Acceleration IS a change of velocity - any change. When velocity increases, there IS acceleration. The acceleration itself may be increasing, decreasing, or remain constant.

Does an object experiencing a constant velocity have a zero or non-zero value for acceleration?

An object experiencing a constant velocity has zero acceleration. This is because acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time. When velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity, leading to zero acceleration.


What is the graph of increasing acceleration?

The answer depends on what variables are being plotted.


What would the graph look like on a position verse time plot with constant acceleration?

If the constant acceleration is positive, the graph would be an exponential (x2) graph. If there is constant acceleration, then velocity is always increasing, making the position change at an ever increasing rate.


Compare velocity from acceleration?

Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)


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.
