Constant Speed:-

  • When an object's speed is constant, i.e., does not rise or fall, we say it is moving at constant speed. 
  • body moving at constant speed is one that is in fixed steady state and is traveling at an average speed.

Acceleration:-

  • The rate at which velocity changes in relation to time is referred to as acceleration.
  • Since acceleration has both magnitude and direction, it is vector quantity. 
  • Additionally, it is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time or the second derivative of position with respect to time.
