Cite an example of something that undergoes acceleration while moving at constant speed. Can you also give an example of something that accelerates while traveling at constant velocity? Explain.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when an object is moving in a circle with constant speed but its velocity is constantly changing giving rise to acceleration.

As velocity is vector quantity so a slight change in direction gives acceleration, though the magnitude of velocity and speed may be equal.

Constant velocity cannot give acceleration therefore second statement is not possible.
