Two objects are moving in a straight line. One object has a faster speed than the other. They both have constant speeds (speed is not changing). Is either object accelerating? ​

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration refers to the increase in speed over time. Since both of the objects are moving at a constant speed (so the speed is not changing) neither are accelerating, because acceleration requires a positive change in speed.

They may be moving at different speeds, one faster than the other, but neither are changing their own speed so neither are accelerating.

Hope this helped!
