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.
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.
constant acceleration is when you gain the same speed over the same time
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
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 drivingon a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.
Unless the train is in a curve, you cannot have constant speed and constant acceleration. You either have constant speed and zero acceleration, or you have changing speed and constant acceleration. Please restate the question.
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
A constant speed has no acceleration. When an object is moving at a constant speed, its velocity remains the same over time, and there is no change in acceleration.
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.
Constant speed means moving at a steady rate without any change in velocity, while constant acceleration means changing the velocity by the same amount in each unit of time. In other words, constant speed is uniform motion, while constant acceleration is when the velocity is changing at a constant rate.
No, an object with constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed of an object is constant, its velocity is not changing and therefore there is no acceleration.
Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration
If an object travels with constant acceleration, its speed will change at a constant rate over time. The object's speed will increase if the acceleration is positive, decrease if it is negative, and remain constant if the acceleration is zero.
Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
The acceleration of an object moving in a straight line at a constant speed is zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity and thus no acceleration.
This is not possible. Acceleration refers to a change in speed or direction, so if the speed is constant, there is no acceleration.
Exactly the same way that the speed can be constant but the distance keeps increasing.If the acceleration happens to be an increase in speed, then "constant" accelerationmeans that the speed will increase just as much in the 7th minute, for example,as it increased in the 4th minute, for example, etc.Acceleration can be the rate at which speed changes. So if the acceleration is constant,then the speed is changing at a constant rate.(Note: Acceleration doesn't have to be a change of speed. It can also be a changeof direction, at constant speed.)
