Any object moving in a circle (as in a centrifuge, or a planet in an orbit) is accelerating. More generally, any object that moves in a curve is accelerating (such as a car moving in a curve on the road).

∙ 8y agowhen a car stops at a stop sign or light would be acceleration
when a person pedals faster on their bike
when a person stops to take a brake while running

∙ 12y agoWe accelerate whenever we move in a curved path, even though we are at a constant speed, because our direction is changing- hence, our velocity is changing. ie standing on a merry-go-round.

What is an example of something that undergoes acceleration while moving at a constant speed?
Acceleration is technically defined as a change in velocity. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so one could accelerate just by turning.
An object will have constant acceleration if?
well, something has to be pushed by a constantly growing force. Constant acceleration would occur for example if you drop something in a vacuum. Dropping something in normal circumstances is a nearly constant acceleration too.
Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?
Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.
Why is circular motion an example of constant acceleration?
Actually it isn't. In circular motion, even if you assume a constant speed (the simplest case), acceleration is towards the center. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time - and therefore, the acceleration changes all the time.
When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.

How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
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.

What is the formula of uniform acceleration?
There are several formulae that involve uniform acceleration. For example, the definition of uniform acceleration:dv/dt = c or: a = c (where "c" is some constant).
Can an object have a constant speed and a constant acceleration?
Yes, it it's going round in a circle, for example.
How can acceleration be constant if it is an increase in speed?
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.)
example of a change in acceleration while travelling at constant speed?
An example of a change in acceleration while traveling at constant speed can be observed when a vehicle moves in a circular path or takes a turn. Although the speed remains constant, the direction of the motion changes, which results in a change in velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, this alteration in direction causes a change in acceleration, even when the speed is constant.
Is a dog chasing a cat in a circle an example of acceleration?
Not unless the dog is changing speeds. If the dog is chasing the cat at a constant speed it is not an example of acceleration.
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.
What is constant accelaration?
M/s -1 - For example gravity has a constant acceleration of 9 M/s -1
When can you have no acceleration?
To make acceleration equal zero. The velocity must be constant. For example, if velocity is constant at 10 m/s^2 its acceleration is zero. The same is true if velocity is 0 m/s^2.
