Can the Kinematic equations be used if the acceleration is = to zero?

~I know that they can only be used if the acceleration is constant but would zero constitute a constant?

I'm not sure about this...because zero would mean that there is no acceleration but I would think that it could be used but...

Thanks =)

Yes, zero is a constant. Kinetic equations based upon F = m a are always valid.
