Because differentiation is a measure of the rate of change. A constant does not change (by definition) and differentiating it must give 0.

The differentiation of a constant is zero because a constant value does not change with respect to the variable being differentiated. The derivative measures the rate of change of a function, and since a constant has no change, its derivative is zero.
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
Yes. Zero is a constant. So is 1 And 2 And 3, 4, 5 and any number
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
a constant polynomial has a degree zero (0).
Zero. In general, the derivative of any constant is zero.
