There are only 3 ways to accelerate: speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction. since 0mph allows you to do none of those three things, it can't be accelerating.

What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?
positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
What is does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.It means the speed doesn't change. Stated in different terms, the acceleration is zero.
A car travels a highway 55 miles per hour what is its speed and acceleration?
Its speed is 55 mph, and if the highway doesn't curve, then its acceleration is zero.
What will the speed of the object at 6 second?
It'll be (speed at time-zero) plus (6 times acceleration).
Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
Is it possible for your speed to be zero when your acceleration is not zero?
Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.
Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.
Why is the velocity 0 when your speed is constant?
It's not. If you speed is constant (but not zero), then your velocity won't be zero, either.You may be confusing this with the following: If your VELOCITY (not your speed) is constant, then your ACCELERATION is zero. Acceleration refers to how quickly velocity changes, so if velocity doesn't change at all, acceleration is zero.
What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?
positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.
How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?
Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Can an object have a speed of zero and the acceleration not be zero?
Yes, but only at one instant. For instance, if you throw an object straight up, when it reaches the highest point its instantaneous speed is zero, but of course its speed is changing - thus, acceleration is non-zero.
What is the difference between constant speed and constant acceleration?
Constant speed means that speed doesn't change. Constant acceleration means that acceleration doesn't change. (If the acceleration is anything but zero, speed WILL change.)
A constant speed has a slope of zero energy because no acceleration is taking place?
A constant speed has a slope of zero energy because no acceleration is taking place.
It it possible for an object to be sationary while under acceleration?
"Stationary" means zero speed. The object's speed is not changing, and the direction of the speed is obviously also not changing.By definition then, acceleration is zero.
