Constant velocity is a measure of distance traveled per unit of time at a uniform speed, such as miles per hour or feet per second. Constant acceleration is a measure of a continuing increase in velocity per unit of time, as when a car speeds up from 30 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour in 5 seconds, then from 40 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour during the next 5 seconds. It will then have had a constant acceleration of 10 miles per hour per 5 seconds.

What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
What is formulas finding speed and velocity?
velocity = distance / time There are also some formulae involving acceleration; for example, in the case of constant acceleration: velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time If the acceleration is not constant, an integral is used instead.
If an object moves with constant acceleration what happens to the velocity?
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
What would the acceleration of a turtle that is moving with a constant velocity of 0.25 miles per second to the right?
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
