Can constant velocity be zero?
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
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.
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
Do you agree with the statement an object with a zero velocity can have an acceleration greater than zero do you agree?
Yes. If it weren't so, an object that isn't moving could never be made to move at all! Of course, once you apply acceleration (which implies a change of velocity), the object's velocity won't stay zero. But for a brief instant, the velocity can be zero while accelerating.
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.
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.
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.
How could you describe a situation where an object velocity does not change?
if velocity is constant, that means then the net acceleration acting on the object is equal to zero
How an object could still be moving with the 0 acceleration?
Zero acceleration means that the velocity doesn't change. It doesn't mean that there is no velocity.
Can it have zero acceleration and non zero velocity?
Yes this is possible, when the velocity is constant. When velocity is constant there is no change in velocity, if there is no change in velocity then is no acceraltion. e.g. : a car traveling at a constant speed of 40m/s
