Why is a train that is traveling on a curved track at a constant speed accelerating?
We all grew up thinking "acceleration" means "speeding up". It doesn't.
"Acceleration" means the speed or the direction is changing.
So if a moving object is speeding up, slowing down, or keeping a constant speed
on a path that's curving or bending, then there's acceleration going on.
What else can I help you with?
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
No, you are not accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with a constant speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if your velocity remains constant, there is no acceleration.
How can a car be travelling at a constant speed yet be be accelerating?
A car can be traveling at a constant speed but still be accelerating if its direction changes. Acceleration is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. So, even if the car maintains a constant speed along a curved path, it is still accelerating due to the change in its direction.
Can you also give an example of something that accelerates while traveling at constant velocity?
Yes, an object traveling in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction is constantly changing. An example would be a car moving along a curved road at a constant speed.
If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerating an traveling at a constint speed?
Acceleration refers to a change in velocity, which can occur even if the speed remains constant. For example, if an object is moving in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating because its direction is changing constantly. So, it is possible to be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed at the same time.

What is the accleration of a car traveling for 2.5 at a constant speed of 95?
0. "Constant speed" means it is not accelerating.
If a car is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed is it accelerating?
No. 'Acceleration' means a change in speed or direction over time. If the car is moving at a constant speed in a constant direction, then it isn't accelerating.

So, it is possible to be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed at the same time.
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
Acceleration refers to any change in an object's velocity, which includes changes in speed or direction. It is possible to have a constant speed while still accelerating if the direction of motion changes, for example, when moving in a circle at a constant speed. So, while the speed remains the same, the change in direction constitutes acceleration.
What does the slope of the line on a posiition vs time graph tell you about an objects speed?
Slope at any point is speed. if slope is constant (staight line)then speed is constant; if curved up speed is accelerating. If curved down it is decelerating
An airplane traveling at a constant rate of speed in a straight line is not accelerating?
That's correct.
Can you be accelerating if you are traveling at constant speed?
Velocity is speed in a certain direction. You can keep speed the same, and if you change direction then you have changed velocity.
An airplane traveling at a constant rate of speed in a straight line is not accelerating true of false?
true
Does a car traveling 20 mph on a curved exit ramp have a constant velocity?
No it does not because once you change direction you do not have a constant speed.
