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 a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?
An object moving in a circular path at constant speed will have a non-zero average speed and zero average velocity since velocity is a vector parameter,
Could the body's velocity be zero?
if it is not moving
Can the average velocity of a moving body be zero. state example?
Yes, if, for example, a car races around a circuit, its total displacement is zero and so its velocity, at the end of every lap, 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.
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.
What is acceleration of a body moving with uniform velocity?
zero because the initial and final velocity is constant . so,difference bet. final velocity and initial velocity is zero
What are the conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity or the move with increasing velocity?
A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.
Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?
The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.
