Positive acceleration ==> speeding up Negative acceleration ==> slowing down
If the person has not been speeding up or slowing down, his acceleration is 0 km/s/s.
Acceleration = 0 because the car is moving at a STEADY velocity. It is neither speeding up, nor slowing down.
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.
Acceleration is scientifically defined as a change in velocity, not an increase in speed. Thus slowing down, speeding up, or changing direction are all forms of accelerating. If one is moving at a constant speed, then the only way to accelerate would be to change direction.
