i will give u an illustration, consider an object projected (thrown)with some initial vertical velocity from the ground such that it traces a open downward parabolicpath, in that path the vertical displacement of the body from the point of projection to the point where it strikes the ground is equal to zero,but it have some velocity.

It is not possible because the average velocity is equal to the displacement in a given time interval, ie:

V = (displacement) / (time interval)

As the zero displacement average speed will also be zero.

No, you cannot have a zero displacement and a nonzero average velocity. If the object has not moved any where how can you attain a nonzero velocity? You cannot.

No. A non-zero average velocity means, precisely, that there is a displacement.

If displacement is not changing as a function of time then what can we say about velocity?

If the displacement is not changing, the velocity is zero.


Can a body have zero velocity with nonzero accelaration?

Yes, but only for an instant.


If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?

When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".


Can you have zon zero displacement and a non zero average velocity?

No.


What is the condition of the position-time graph when the velocity-time graph passes through zero?

As, in the velocity-time graph, curves passes through zero means 'when time is zero velocity is zero'. Velocity is time derivative of displacement. So displacement is maximum or minimum when time is zero in position-time graph.


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,


Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?

Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.


When a vibration is at maximum displacement what is its velocity?

Zero. That's the instant at which its velocity changes direction. In order to do that, its magnitude has to be zero at that point in time.


What is the velocity if you travel in 10 mile circle at 15 mph and end up where you started?

The velocity is zero because the total displacement vector is zero.


Is it possible that a body has zero speed and nonzero velocity?

No because velocity defined as speed in a given direction so if speed is 0 then velocity must also be 0


Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?

Yes, for example, a car moving at constant speed.


Can you have a zero velocity and zero displacement?

Yes, dD/dt = d0/dt = 0 thusDisplacement D=0 and Velocity dD/dt=d0/dt = o.
