No. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
If velocity is constant, then its rate of change is zero.

Another contributor obfuscated:
If we were to get really picky with our vectors we could say that an object could have constant velocity in the x-y plane and still accelerate in the z-axis.
Also a system of objects could have a net-velocity in 3-D space and still have a radial acceleration. A solar system traveling through space at constant velocity will have a radial acceleration, for each component part of the system, around the gravitational center of mass of the system.
No, a body moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed of the body remains constant, there is no acceleration. For example, a car moving at a steady 60 mph on a straight road is not accelerating.
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
Yes, the direction of velocity of a body can change even when its acceleration is constant. This can happen if the acceleration and initial velocity of the body are not aligned in the same direction. The body will still experience a change in velocity due to the constant acceleration, which can lead to a change in direction.
Yes, a body can have zero velocity and still be accelerating if its speed is changing, either increasing or decreasing, over time. This is because acceleration is a measure of how the velocity of an object is changing, regardless of its current velocity.
Yes. If a body has a constant velocity there is no acceleration, but if the velocity is changing there is acceleration present.
When a body has constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so if velocity is constant, there is no change and hence no acceleration.
a "body" "moving body" an "object" is moving with constant velocity. [OR] a "body" is moving with constant velocity.
Constant acceleration is a scenario where an object's velocity changes by the same amount in each equal time interval. This means that the object is accelerating at a steady rate over time, resulting in a linear increase or decrease in velocity. Mathematically, constant acceleration is represented by a constant value for the acceleration variable.
When an object moves with uniform velocity, its slope is zero. This means the object is not accelerating and is moving at a constant speed in a straight line.
The velocity of the body is constant if it covers equal displacements in equal intervals of time. This is because velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. If the body is covering equal distances at equal intervals, then the velocity remains constant.
Yes, a body moving with a constant velocity in the east direction can still have acceleration in the west direction if an external force is applied in that direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the velocity is constant, a change in direction or magnitude of the velocity can still result in acceleration.
No, a body cannot move with a constant velocity in an accelerated motion. Accelerated motion implies a change in velocity over time, so the velocity of the body would not remain constant.
