Is it impossible when an object moving in a straight line has no acceleration?

If a body is moving at constant velocity in a straight line, the acceleration is zero and the net force acting on it is zero.
F = ma
F = m x 0
F = 0

When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line you must calculate the charge in distance during unit of time?
You calculate the charge in velocity, not in distance.
What is difference between an object moving with uniform acceleration and an object moving with a constant velocity?
A motion with a constant speed will always be moving the same speed A motion with a constant acceleration will constantly be gaining speed, and does not remain moving at the same speed.
If an object is moving away from you and left alone what happens?
If an object is moving away from you and there are no forces acting on it,then it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Does distance affect the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
The only thing that causes or influences acceleration of an object is force.
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.
The velocity of an object moving in a straight line changes at a constant rate when the object is experiencing constant?
acceleration
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
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.
What is the difference between object moves wint uniform acceleration and object moves with no acceleration?
An object moving with uniform acceleration has a uniform change in velocity over time, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight line with either a positive or negative slope. An object moving with no acceleration has constant velocity, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight, horizontal line with zero slope. Refer to the related link for illustrations.
An example of zero acceleration would be what?
If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object
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.
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.
How do you calcuclate the acceleration of a moving obect?
how do you calculate the acceleration of a moving object.
What must you know about an object Moving in a straight line to calculate its acceleration?
You must know its mass and the net force. If it is moving at constant velocity, the net force is zero and the acceleration is zero.
