An object which is not changing in it's position in space. In simply it is at rest

Can constant velocity be zero?

Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.


What is another word for zero velocity?

Zero velocity = No acceleration


Is the net force acting on a body is zero will the velocity be zero?

No, The velocity CHANGE will be zero


What is the velocity if acceleration is zero?

velocity may be zero or may not be zero i.e. if the object may continue to move with uniform velocity.


What is the acceleration if velocity is zero?

velocity may be zero or may not be zero i.e. if the object may continue to move with uniform velocity.


How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?

Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.


Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?

Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.


Can an object accelerate and have zero velocity?

I'm not a scientist, but the following seems reasonable to me. If your frame of reference is the earth's surface, then it seems clear that an object can have zero velocity and zero acceleration. You could even have non-zero velocity and zero acceleration. What seems impossible is to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration. When you think of accelaration think of changing velocity. A car moving straight down the highway at a constant speed of 55 mph is neither speeding up nor slowing down. Though it has velocity, there is no change in its velocity so acceleration will be zero. For a car parked on the side of the road, on the other hand, its velocity will be zero but what about its acceleration? Is velocity changing? No, so it will have zero velocity and zero acceleration.Yes.


Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?

Yes, you can. Zero acceleration simply means there is no CHANGE in velocity. It doesn't mean there is no velocity.


Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity?

Zero relative velocity to another object, sure no problem. Zero absolute velocity, not possible as there is no absolute reference to compare to.


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.


How the velocity uniform?

"Uniform velocity" means zero acceleration, that is, constant speed in a straight line.rate of change of velocity is zero
