Acceleration is changing velocity.

Zero velocity means no motion.

Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.

Can a body have accerlation butb still have zero velocity?

Yes, it is possible. When a body thrown upward (from the surface of Earth or any other planet but with velocity small enough not to overcome the gravity) and reaches its maximum elevation its velocity is zero but the acceleration is g (due to gravity).


What is necessary for an object to be in complete rotational and translational equilibrium?

When the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body of mass is zero, the body has zero acceleration (that is, the body's centre of mass moves with constant velocity).In a similar fashion, if the net torque on a body is zero, the body has zero angular acceleration (that is, the body's angular velocity remains constant). This is the condition for rotational equilibrium.


Can constant velocity be zero?

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


What is instantaneous accerlation?

that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.


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 acceleration of zero?

Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.


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.
