A body moving with uniform velocity has acceleration equal to:

Answer: 0 m/s².

  • A 9.8 m/s²
  • B 1 m/s²
  • C 0 m/s²
  • D Cannot be determined

Correct answer: C. 0 m/s²

Explanation: Uniform velocity means no change in velocity, so acceleration = 0.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
