I would guess what you mean by a constant speed is zero change in acceleration.
In the equation a = (v - u)/t
where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity and t = time taken for this change to happen.
If your initial speed and final speed are the same (I.E. constant) then there is no acceleration.

∙ 11y agoWell it depends on what do you want to calculate if you want to calculate the kinetic energy at a certain instant then use 1/2*m*v^2 where m is the object's mass and v is its speed. However if you want to calculate the kinetic energy between two points then you will use delta kinetic =1/2*m*vf^2 - 1/2*m*vi^2 where vf and vi are the final and initial speed. In your case if you want to determine the change in kinetic energy for an object with constant speed then the answer would be zero. to be honest your question is not clear enough to give you definite answer.

∙ 10y agoKE = 1/2mv2, where m is mass in kg, and vis velocity in m/s. The equation for kinetic energy indicates a direct relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity of an object. However if velocity is constant, the KE and mass are still directly proportional, so that the greater the mass of a particle, the greater its kinetic energy.

Do you need constant force to produce constant speed?
Constant forces provide a constant speed. This is true on a basic physics level, you could argue and bring up examples but this is PHYSICS, it doesn't deal with real life. It's all mirrors and forces.
Is constant acceleration same as constant speed?
no because constant acceleration describes and object speeding up at an equal rate wheras constant speed describes an object travelling at the same speed over time. By the way i h8 physics don't ever do it
Who can tell each one of einstein theories?
The speed of light is a constant, The laws of physics are the same everywhere are some of Einstein theories.
What property remains constant no matter where in the universe a material?
Our theories of physics indicate that the speed of light should be invariant (unchanging) anywhere in the universe.
Is the velocity constant for an object in uniform circular?
Answer: No, the speed is constant, but the velocity changes, since the direction changes. Please be sure you understand the difference between "speed" and "velocity", as used in physics. Speed is scalar which has only magnitude but not direction Whereas velocity is having both. So is a vector quantitiy
What is constant velocity in terms of physics?
Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line.

What is the definiton of inertia?
inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest, or to continue to move in the same direction at constant speed. [physics]
Who can tell each one of einstein theories?
The speed of light is a constant, The laws of physics are the same everywhere are some of Einstein theories.
Is the total distance traveled divided by the constant speed is the average speed true or false?
In physics, total distance/TIME is average speed, so this is false. Velocity should be switched out with TIME.
What is Uniform Motion regarding physics?
"Uniform" motion means unaccelerated motion. "Unaccelerated" means moving with constant speed in a straight line.
What property remains constant no matter where in the universe a material?
Our theories of physics indicate that the speed of light should be invariant (unchanging) anywhere in the universe.

How do you obtain speed from accleration?
By integrating over time. Or for first year physics: s=at (constant acceleration; initial speed of zero) Hmm, distance = acceleration X time is how you read s=at.
What is the different between constant velocity and constant speed?
constant velocity is when you maintain speed and direction, this usually is in a straight line, and constant speed means that your speed is always constant at all times.
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
