An airplane traveling at a constant rate of speed in a straight line is not accelerating?

That's correct.


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.


Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?

No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.


What cause an object to be accelerating in a straight line?

A constant force in the direction of the line


What travels at a constant speed while accelerating?

Anything that moves in a path that's not straight can do that.


What is the acceleration of car that travels in a straight line at constant speed?

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration


A projectile shot straight forward at the edge of a cliff will?

It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.

It will have constant motion vertically while accelerating horizontally.


What is uniformly accelerating linear motion?

Motion implies momentum, which implies velocity. Linear implies a straight line. Accelerating implies changing velocity. And uniform implies constancy. So, when an object moves in a straight line and accelerates at a constant rate, you have uniformly accelerating linear motion.


An ice skater glides around a rink at a constant speed of 2 ms is the skater acceleratng explain your answer?

Acceleration is change in velocity. These are vectors that have magnitude and direction. Changing either magnitude (speed) or direction will have the skater be accelerating. SO, if the skater is going at a constant speed of 2m/s in a straight line, he is not accelerating. If he is at a constant speed of 2m/s traveling in a circle (you gave the word "around"), he is accelerating. Going around in circles means there is a force constantly changing your direction. Obviously that force is coming from the skaters legs.


Are you accelerating when you use cruise control?

Depends if you are turning or going straight. Assuming your cruise control keeps the vehicle at a constant speed.


A speed time graph forms a straight line which is an example of?

If it is a horizontal straight line, it means the object is moving at constant velocity. If it is a sloped line, it means the object is accelerating.
