Meaning of zero acceleration?
Zero acceleration means no change in velocity and no force on the zero accelerating body.
When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?
When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Can an object have zero acceleration and eventually-reverses its acceleration?
I am not sure what you mean by reversing a zero acceleration. An object's acceleration can, of course, change over time.
How is acceleration due to gravity be zero in a parachute?
At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.
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.
Can acceleration vary with time when acceleration is zero?
If acceleration varies with time, it can of course AT ONE PARTICULAR INSTANT be equal to zero. However, it can't both change over time and remain at zero all the time.
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 velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero 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.
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.
