Question

when a body is moving with a uniform velocity, the acceleration is .............?

Answer 1

when a body is moving with a uniform velocity, the acceleration is also constant.

Answer 2

ok @ShikhaDessai

Answer 3

thats what i wrote for my physics test...but i think the answer is zero

Answer 4

sorry, i made mistake.

Answer 5

When a body is moving with constant velocity, that means there is no change in the magnitude of velocity.
Since, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity so the answer is Zero.

Answer 6

A body moving with a uniform velocity does not at all have any acceleration because it has uniform velocity i.e acceleration of a body with uniform velocity is always 0.

Answer 7

oh...so constant is wrong?

Answer 8

@ShikhaDessai can i explain why acc. is zero

Answer 9

\[a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta T}\]Therefore, when velocity is constant, acceleration must be 0.

Answer 10

right @Shane_B

Answer 11

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Since velocity is not changing, acceleration is 0.

Answer 12

velocity has both magnitude n direction. there is no change of magnitude n direction of uniform velocity. so acceleration is 0

Answer 13

if the magnitude of a velocity changes then the acceleration is not 0

Answer 14

if the direction of a velocity changes then acceleration is not 0

Answer 15

if both the magnitude n direction of velocity changes then acceleration is not 0

Answer 16

thank u

Answer 17

u r most welcome
