"Constant velocity" is another way of saying "zero acceleration".

Answer:

Acceleration, a =0

Step-by-step explanation:

If the velocity is constant, it means the acceleration of the object is equal to zero. Mathematically, the acceleration of an object is given by :


a=(dv)/(dt)

It is also defined as the change in speed per unit time. Its SI unit is
m/s^2. It is a vector quantity.

So, it is concluded that if a car is maintaining a constant velocity of 1 m/s, its acceleration is equal to zero. Hence, this is the required solution.
