If an object moves with a constant velocity of 2 m/s, this means that its speed and direction of motion are not changing. Therefore, the object is moving in a straight line with a constant speed of 2 m/s.

To calculate the distance traveled by the object in 20 seconds, we can use the formula:

distance = velocity x time

In this case, the velocity is 2 m/s and the time is 20 seconds, so we have:

distance = 2 m/s x 20 s = 40 meters

So the object has traveled a distance of 40 meters in 20 seconds.

Since the object is moving with a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time, and since the velocity is not changing, the acceleration is zero.
