Question

If a body is moving with a constant velocity, its acceleration is ___________________. Fill up the blank.

Answer 1

0 m/s is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The acceleration will be zero.

Explanation:

If a body keeps moving with a constant velocity then the acceleration of that body will be zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity which means it is the ratio of change in velocity with time. So. if the body is moving with constant velocity there would not be any change in velocity i.e the change in velocity of that body will be zero. Thus, the ratio of change in velocity to time will also be zero. So, the net acceleration will be zero.
