Acceleration is independent of speed. If the instantaneous velocity of an object is 12m/s and no other information is known, it is impossible to tell the acceleration. However, if the velocity does not change at all over a certain time interval, the acceleration over that time interval is 0m/s2. If other information is given, such as initial/final velocity, time, or displacement, then one of the the "famous five" equations may be used to determine the acceleration.

What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?

zero - it is constat velocity. so acceleration is zero50 m/s2 Another : The acceleration is ZERO. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.
