Can velocity of an object change when its acceleration is constant?

Certainly! By definition, the acceleration is the change, so it will change unless that amount is zero.

If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
Formula for distance traveled?
There is not enough information to answer the question. The answer depends onis the object travelling at constant velocity?is the acceleration constant?If it is an object travelling with constant acceleration, which three of the following four variables are knows: initaial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time.
State whether there can be an object with a constant acceleration but with zero velocity?
yes, if it has a constant acceleration of 0m/s2
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?
If a velocity or speed is constant there isn't an acceleration. This is because the acceleration is the change in speed or velocity and if it's constant then there sn't a change.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Can an object be accelerating with constant velocity?
No, since acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. If there is no change, there is no acceleration.
Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?
If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
If an object is accelerating can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
Can the direction of the velocity of an object change keeping the acceleration constant?
In order to change the direction of the velocity, acceleration is absolutely required. And as long as you've got it, there's no reason why it can't be constant. An object moving in a circle at a constant speed ... like a TV satellite ... has constant acceleration, and the direction of its velocity is constantly changing.
If an object travels for 15 minutes at a constant velocity of 12 miles per hour west what is its acceleration?
Since acceleration is a change in velocity, if your velocity is constant (does not change), your acceleration is zero.
If an object is being accelerated can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
Can the direction of velocity of an object change keeping the acceleration constant?
Yes. dv/dt = a=constant.
Can two direction of velocity of an object change when acceleration is constant?
An object can have only one velocity at any point in time. That velocity can have components in two (or more) directions.If acceleration is constant (but non-zero), then the velocity in any direction other than perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration must change.
