True or False Acceleration and Velocity Question?

If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.





True or False?True or False Acceleration and Velocity Question?
Assuming your acceleration is instantaneous acceleration instead of average acceleration and that your velocity is instantaneous velocity.


it is TRUE





For proof, compare two graphs, one of velocity vs time and acceleration vs time. When acceleration is 0, the slope of the velocity-time line must be 0.True or False Acceleration and Velocity Question?
velocity = rate of motion


acceleration = CHANGE in rate of motion





Therefore, if an object moves at a steady, unchanged velocity, then there is NO acceleration.


Example: a car drives along at 40 miles an hour. IF it sped up to 50 miles per hour, it has accelerated 10 miles per hour.

yep, i'd say that's true
