Question

Suppose that an object is moving with a constant velocity. Make a statement concerning its acceleration

Answer 1

Its acceleration is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity:

`a=(v-u)/(t)`

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

The object in this problem is moving with a constant velocity, so

u = v

which means that the initial velocity is equal to the final velocity: therefore, the acceleration becomes

`a=(0-0)/(t)=0`

So, the acceleration is zero.
