  • Understanding Constant Velocity: Motion and Acceleration
    If an object has a constant velocity, then it:

    * Moves in a straight line. Constant velocity means both constant speed *and* constant direction.

    * Has zero acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, there's no change, so acceleration is zero.

    Here's a simple way to think about it:

    * Constant speed: The object is traveling at the same pace (like a car on cruise control).

    * Constant direction: The object is moving in the same direction (not turning or changing its path).
