No. Acceleration is the change in velocity(speed) over a period time.

=====================================

Another contributor bristled:

Sorry. Velocity and speed are not two different words for the same thing.

Velocity means speed and direction, and acceleration means any change in velocity.

If the speed is constant but the direction is changing ... like turning a corner or driving

on a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.

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.


What is the acceleration of a car going a constant speed of 100?

A car going at a constant speed is not accelerating (its rate of acceleration is zero).


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.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 135 kilometers per hour?

If a car travels in a straight line with a constant speed, then the car has a constant velocity (determined by direction and speed), and the acceleration is 0.


What is the acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 80 km per hour?

if the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. The acceleration is the rate at which the velocity changes, so if it stays the same, the car isn't accelerating.


An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?

An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.


How can a car be travelling at a constant speed yet be be accelerating?
