Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'constant' (not varying) modifies 'acceleration' (change in velocity), yielding 'acceleration that does not vary over time.' This adjective+noun construction follows standard, cross-linguistic compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Constant acceleration comes from a simple image: imagine a car that gains the same extra speed every second. Because the extra speed is called acceleration and the amount stays constant, the term means a 'steady' change in speed over time.
