QUESTION:

it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Give an example of such a situation.

ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 2 Acceleration is a vector quantity in the same direction as the change in velocity. And speed is a scalar quantity, so its magnitude is constant and it does not depend on direction. So acceleration is present, if there is a change in velocity. And velocity can be changed by changing the direction.
