What is the difference between an object with a constant accleration and a constant velocity?

a. There is no difference between constant velocity and constant acceleration.

b. If an object has a constant velocity it will not have an acceleration- the velocity does not change. A constant acceleration means an objects velocity will increase or decrease by the same amount in each interval of time.

c. If an object has a constant acceleration it will not have a velocity. A constant velocitty means an object will increase or decrease displacement by the same amount in each interval of time

d. If an object has a constant acceleration on a velocity vs time graph the slope of the line will = zero.

To summarize, an object moving in uniform circular motion is moving around the perimeter of the circle with a constant speed. While the speed of the object is constant, its velocity is changing. Velocity, being a vector, has a constant magnitude but a changing direction.

can u figure it out from there but if anything i think it is C
