Are we more likely to be able to walk at constant velocity or at constant acceleration?

Constant velocity is the motion of an object in a straight line at the same speed without changing direction.
Constant acceleration is the change in velocity of an object over time, where the velocity increases or decreases by the same amount in each unit of time.
The main difference is that constant velocity means the object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line, while constant acceleration means the object is changing its speed or direction over time.
An object will have constant velocity if there is no external force acting on it to change its speed or direction.
Constant velocity is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken, while constant acceleration is calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken. Both are measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
