An object moving at a constant velocity will always have a zero acceleration.

Answer:

zero acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate change of velocity with respect to time

This means that:


acceleration = (delta_v_e_l_o_c_i_t_y)/(delta_t_i_m_e)

Now, since the velocity is given as a constant, this means that the value of the velocity does not change which means that the change of velocity is zero.

Substitute in the formula:


acceleration = (0)/(delta_t_i_m_e) = 0

Therefore, for constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.

Hope this helps :)
