Yes, acceleration only tells you how velocity is changing. It doesn't say anything about what velocity is at any given time.

For example, if you set your car to cruise control on the highway going 80 mph. That is a constant high velocity, yet the car has 0 acceleration.

The opposite is also true. After a red light turns green, you put foot on the gas to accelerate. However, your velocity is initially low even though it has high acceleration.

Of course !

A passenger jet, cruising at 37,000 feet on its way to California,
keeping a constant airspeed and flying in a straight line, can have
a velocity of 500 miles per hour west, but its acceleration is zero !

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

$E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta$

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

$\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0$
