If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object

Zero acceleration means the object is moving with constant speed in
a straight line, that is, its velocity is not changing.

Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?
Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.
Is a person running in a circular track at 7mph an example of constant velocity at zero acceleration and if so why?
No. The velocity and acceleration are not zero because the direction is changing, thus the velocity and acceleration is changing.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?
In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.
Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?
Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.
What is the acceleration of an object if the net force working on the object is zero?
The acceleration would also be zero in this case.
Is a person running in a circular track at 7mph an example of constant velocity at zero acceleration and if so why?
No. The velocity and acceleration are not zero because the direction is changing, thus the velocity and acceleration is changing.
Is a book at rest on a table with gravity pulling down an example of acceleration?
Acceleration is zero in this case. Acceleration means the velocity is actually changing.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?
In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.
When can you have no acceleration?
To make acceleration equal zero. The velocity must be constant. For example, if velocity is constant at 10 m/s^2 its acceleration is zero. The same is true if velocity is 0 m/s^2.
Give example where the velocity of the particle is 0 and acceleration is maximum?
When a pendulum reaches its maximum elongation the velocity is zero and the acceleration is maximum
Can a body have acceleration while at rest give example?
a body projected upward is in rest at the top most point, but acceleration is not zero
What is the acceleration of a projectile when instantaneous vertical velocity is zero at the top of its projectile?
Acceleration at the point of zero vertical velocity will be equivalent to gravitational acceleration on that body. On Earth, for example, this is around 9.8 meters per second per second (9.8m/s2).
