it always has changing velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the word acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity. Mathematically, it is given by :


a=(dv)/(dt)


dv=a.dt


v=\int\limits^t_0 {a.dt}

Since, it is given that acceleration is constant


v=at+v_o

v₀ is the constant of integration and it corresponds to initial velocity

From above equation, it is clear that when acceleration is constant the speed varies linearly. Hence, when an object move with constant acceleration, it always changes its velocity.
