It actually can. Say a car moves north at 50 miles per hour for 4 hours. Then it moves south at 50 miles per hour for 4 hours. In the end, it returns to it's starting point. The average velocity over that 8 hour period is then zero, because it really went nowhere.

Can average velocity of moving body be zero?

Yes; for example, an object moving in a circle.


Can the average speed of a body be zero and can the average velocity of a moving body be zero?

Since speed is a scalar quantity, the only way the average speed can be zero is if the instantaneous speed is at all times zero, making it not a moving body, so no on the average speed. The average velocity, on the other hand, can easily be zero. The simplest example is you running in a circle.


Can the average velocity of a moving body be zero. state example?

Yes, the average velocity of a moving body can be zero. For example, if an object moves to the right for a certain distance and then returns back to its original position in the same amount of time, the total displacement would be zero, resulting in an average velocity of zero.


Could the body's velocity be zero?

if it is not moving

Can a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?

Yes, a body can have a nonzero average speed but zero average velocity if it moves around a closed path and returns to its starting point. For example, if a car travels around a circular track at a constant speed, its average speed will be nonzero (as distance is covered), but its average velocity over the entire trip will be zero as the displacement is zero.


If a moving body comes to a stop what will be it's final velocity?

If an object doesn't move, then its velocity is zero.


Can a body moving in a circle zero velocity and constant acceleration in circular motion have?

Nein. If it's moving, by definition it has non-zero velocity.


If a body is moving with a uniform velocity.what will be its acceleration?

If a body is moving with a uniform velocity, its acceleration will be zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity over time and thus zero acceleration.


Can average speed of a moving object be zerogive an example?

No, it can't. Average VELOCITY can be zero, though.


What is a acccelertion of a body moving with a uniform velocity?

Zero, since the velocity doesn't change.


Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?

Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
