Why is acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always zero?

Physics
1 answer:
k0ka [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

If an object is moving with a constant velocity, then by definition it has zero acceleration. So there is no net force acting on the object. The total work done on the object is thus 0 (that's not to say that there isn't work done by individual forces on the object, but the sum is 0 ).

Explanation:

In the middle, when the object was changing position at a constant velocity, the acceleration was 0. This is because the object is no longer changing its velocity and is moving at a constant rate.

-- Find a clean jar that has a tight lid.
-- Take the lid off of the jar.
-- Wave the jar around for a while.
-- Put the lid back on the jar, tightly.

You now have a jar full of air and everything in the air.

If a motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 5 m / s2, how long does it take for it to reach a speed of 20 m / s.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 20 m/s

a = 5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

20 m/s = (5 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4 s
