Yes. You could be moving left with an acceleration to the right (decelerating) and come to a stop before you begin to move to the right.

Can your speed be 0 while your acceleration non zero?

Yes, it is possible for the speed to be 0 while the acceleration is non-zero. This occurs when the object is momentarily at rest (speed is zero) while still experiencing acceleration due to a change in its velocity.


It it possible for an object to be sationary while under acceleration?

"Stationary" means zero speed. The object's speed is not changing, and the direction of the speed is obviously also not changing.By definition then, acceleration is zero.


Is it possible that there is a non-zero acceleration but with a speed of value zero?

Not with any sensible definition of "acceleration" and "velocity." You CAN accelerate an object and have it end up at zero velocity. But, if the acceleration remains a non-zero number, then the velocity can NOT remain at zero. Your question is like asking, "Can the value of a quantity change, but also remain the same?"


Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?

It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".


Is it possible for your speed to be zero when your acceleration is not zero?

Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.


Is it possible to achieve a constant acceleration?

Yes - for a while. Or indefinitely, if you will accept zero acceleration as "constant acceleration".


Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?

If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.


Cite an example in which your instantanous speed could be ziro while your acceleration is nonziro?

On a child's swing. At each end of the arc of swing there is a moment when your instantaneous speed is zero, while your acceleration is not.


Can an object have a speed of 0 while it has an acceleration that is not 0?

Yes. Acceleration is independent of speed. A perfect example of an object with zero speed but nonzero acceleration is an object at the apex of being thrown upward. The entire time it is in the air it is accelerating downward. At its maximum height its speed is zero.


A car is moving with constant speed and yet the acceleration and net force are not equal to zero how is this possible?

This scenario is possible if the car is moving in a circular path at constant speed. In circular motion, even though the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity is constantly changing, which requires a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle. This acceleration is provided by a net force, known as the centripetal force, acting towards the center of the circular path.


Is it possible for a body to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration?

Answer:Yes, but only instantaneously.Consider a thrown ball moving directly upward. At the highest point of its trajectory, the instanataneous velocity (the velocity at that precise instant) is zero even while the acceleration due to gravity remains non zero.


When velocity is zero and acceleration is less than zero does the speed increase?

if acceleration is <0 and velocity =0 then you got the handbrake on
