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

To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line you must calculate the charge in distance during unit of time?

To find the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate the change in velocity during a unit of time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, not distance. It is given by the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.


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.


What is Motion without acceleration?

Motion without acceleration is when an object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. In this scenario, the object's velocity remains constant and there is no change in its speed or direction.


How much force is needed to keep a 2kg object moving?

No force is needed to keep an object moving. An object with no forces on it keeps moving at a constant speed in a straight line. If there is any force acting on it to make it slow down, then you need just enough force to cancel the first one, in order to keep it moving.


What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?

An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.

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.


Which is not an example of an acceleration?

An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line is not an example of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.


What are some examples that are not examples of centripetal acceleration?

An object moving at a constant velocity in a straight line. An object at rest or moving at a constant speed in a circular path. An object moving in a straight line with no change in direction.


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.


What is the acceleration of an object that travels in a straight line at a constant speed?

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.


What is the equation for finding the alliteration of an object moving in a straight line?

The equation for finding the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line is a = (v_f - v_i) / t, where a is acceleration, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, and t is the time taken.


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 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.


What is the linear acceleration equation and how is it used to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?

The linear acceleration equation is a (vf - vi) / t, where a is acceleration, vf is final velocity, vi is initial velocity, and t is time. This equation is used to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line by finding the change in velocity over time.


If an objects velocity time graph is a straight line parallel to the taxis what can you conclude about the objects acceleration?

If an object's velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis, then the object's acceleration is zero. This means that the object is moving at a constant velocity.


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.
