An object can accelerate while traveling at constant speed but not at constant velocity. This is because acceleration is a measure of the change in velocityover time. Speed is a scalar quantity with magnitude but not direction while velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

An object can accelerate only if either it's speed or direction of motion changes with time.
It is said that velocity is constant(I hope you know the difference between SPEED and VELOCITY ) so,this means that both speed and direction does not change.
THUS, this proves that a body cannot accelerate when its velocity is constant.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!
PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF IT DOES!!!!


ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

vini117: wrong
TheImmortal49: Why
vini117: brother when an object moves along a straight line with a constant velocity then it also have constant acceleration tgrough out the motion.
TheImmortal49: yes i agree to that
TheImmortal49: but my answer is that only
