Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
Is Acceleration is the magnitude of average velocity?
No. Acceleration is (change of velocity) divided by (time interval in which it changed). If velocity doesn't change, then there is no acceleration.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of plus 9 point 5 m per s After 3 point 5 s its velocity is plus 9 point 0 m per s What is the car's average acceleration in this time interval?
Average acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)A = (9.0 - 9.5) / (3.5) = (-0.5) / (3.5) = 0.14286 meter/sec2
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration?
No. An object traveling at a constant velocity is not accelerating.
Compare velocity from acceleration?
Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)
What is the acceleration of a skateboarder traveling 12m per sec?
Acceleration is independent of speed. If the instantaneous velocity of an object is 12m/s and no other information is known, it is impossible to tell the acceleration. However, if the velocity does not change at all over a certain time interval, the acceleration over that time interval is 0m/s2. If other information is given, such as initial/final velocity, time, or displacement, then one of the the "famous five" equations may be used to determine the acceleration.
What is the change in velocity divided by the time interval in which the change occured?
It is acceleration. The difference between final velocity and initial velocity, divided by the time is the AVERAGE acceleration. Remember, though that velocity is a vector. So if you are going round in a circle at a constant speed, your direction of motion is changing continuously and so you are always accelerating!
Can a bus change direction of its velocity when traveling with constant acceleration?
Yes, if the acceleration is not colinear with the existing velocity.
What is the acceleration of a ball that is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 meters per second and has been traveling for 2 minutes?
zero - it is constat velocity. so acceleration is zero50 m/s2 Another : The acceleration is ZERO. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time. If the ball is traveling a constant velocity over a two minute period, the acceleration would be zero since there is no change in velocity.
When a ball is traveling at a constant velocity of 50 ms and has been traveling for over 2 minutes what is the balls acceleration?
When something is traveling at a constant velocity it has no acceleration. In other words your answer is 0.
Can an object traveling at constant velocity have acceleration why?
If a velocity or speed is constant there isn't an acceleration. This is because the acceleration is the change in speed or velocity and if it's constant then there sn't a change.
