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" acceleration

means 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 change

of direction, at constant speed.)

What happens to an objects speed if it travels with constant acceleration?

If an object travels with constant acceleration, its speed will change at a constant rate over time. The object's speed will increase if the acceleration is positive, decrease if it is negative, and remain constant if the acceleration is zero.


Compare the tension of a train with constant speed and acceleration?

Unless the train is in a curve, you cannot have constant speed and constant acceleration. You either have constant speed and zero acceleration, or you have changing speed and constant acceleration. Please restate the question.


For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?

constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.


What kind of speed has no acceleration?

A constant speed has no acceleration. When an object is moving at a constant speed, its velocity remains the same over time, and there is no change in 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.


How is mass and acceleration related if force is constant?

Both mass and acceleration will remain constant but speed will increase. Its explained in Newtons second law, in short: F=m*a


Why does acceleration change when speed does not?

Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so if speed is constant, acceleration is zero. However, if speed is constant but direction is changing (e.g. moving in a circle at constant speed), the velocity is changing, and thus there is still acceleration.


What is the effect of a constant force on speed?

A constant force will cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the force, leading to an increase in speed over time. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration and the faster the object's speed will increase. If the force is removed, the object will continue to move at a constant speed due to its inertia.


What is the difference between constant speed and constant acceleration?

Constant speed means moving at a steady rate without any change in velocity, while constant acceleration means changing the velocity by the same amount in each unit of time. In other words, constant speed is uniform motion, while constant acceleration is when the velocity is changing at a constant rate.


Can an object with constant speed be accelerating?

No, an object with constant speed is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the speed of an object is constant, its velocity is not changing and therefore there is no acceleration.


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

Straight line at a constant speed = no acceleration


Why acceleration produces at constant speed?

Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
