  • Understanding Constant Speed: What Happens to Acceleration?
    A speed with no acceleration is constant speed.

    Here's why:

    * Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

    * Velocity is speed in a specific direction.

    * Constant speed means the object is moving at the same rate without changing direction.

    Therefore, if an object is moving at a constant speed and in a constant direction, it has no acceleration.

    Examples:

    * A car traveling at a steady 60 mph on a straight road.

    * A ball rolling across a smooth, flat surface at a constant rate.
