How is am object moving at a constant speed and in a straight line like an object at rest?

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.

Does an object with a constant speed have an acceleration?
If it's moving in a curve or some other non-straight path, then yes. If it's moving in a straight line, then no.
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represents its motion?
A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.
Which shape fits a distance vs time graph of an object moving at constant non-zero speed?
A straight line with a constant slope
What can you say about the motion of an object if it's speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
That the object is moving at a constant velocity
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.
Can an object have a constant speed and velocity at the same time?
Yes. An object moving in a straight line at constant speed has constant velocity.
What will happen to an object moving at a constant speed if no outside forces act on it?
It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.
Does an object moving in a constant speed in a straight line have any forces acting on it?
It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
Why an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is undergoing acceleration and has a force excert on it?
-- An object with no net force on it continues moving at constant speed in a straight line.If it's not moving in a straight line, then there must be net force acting on it.-- "Acceleration" is the word for the situation where either speed or direction of motion changes.Even if speed is constant, acceleration is present if the direction is changing.
Does an object with a constant speed have an acceleration?
If it's moving in a curve or some other non-straight path, then yes. If it's moving in a straight line, then no.
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What is the result of balanced forces acting on an object?
The object's acceleration is zero ... it continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.
What force keeps an object in free space going a constant speed?
No force is required to keep an object moving at constant speed in a straight line. Force is required only to change its speed or direction.
What will an object in straight-line motion tend to do?
An object in motion tends to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed,unless an external force acts on it to change its direction or speed.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What can you say about the motion of a body if its displacement time graph is a straight line?
The object is moving at a constant speed.
