# What if acceleration is zero?

###### Answered 2011-06-05 08:16:10

no net force on it and it keeps travellind with constant velocity or stays without moving.

No. Acceleration is the change of velocity. If velocity is constant, at any speed, acceleration is zero.

Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.Then there will be no acceleration.

Zero acceleration means no change in velocity and no force on the zero accelerating body.

If an object has zero acceleration, its velocity doesn't have to be zero. Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity over time. Zero acceleration means there is no change in velocity over time, namely constant velocity. Constant velocity can be any velocity (including zero velocity or "at rest"), so the object's velocity doesn't have to be zero to have zero acceleration.

Acceleration refers to the change of velocity per time unit. If the velocity doesn't change, acceleration is zero.

When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.

yes the acceleration is at zero because there is no change in acceleration if the velocity is constant

At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.

Only for an instant. Acceleration is a change in velocity. When the derivative of acceleration with respect to time is zero, the velocity would be zero.

Yes. A body having zero velocity has a constant acceleration of 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.

It is not possible for acceleration to have zero acceleration because the force acting on the object is gravity and g=9.8m/s squared. Gravity is the acceleration It can however have a zero velocity

I am not sure what you mean by reversing a zero acceleration. An object's acceleration can, of course, change over time.

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.

Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.

An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.

Yes. If the velocity doesn't change, there is zero acceleration.

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.

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.

Anything that is not moving or is moving at a constant speed has zero acceleration. An object that is slowing down has a negative acceleration, an object that is speeding up has a positive acceleration.

Assuming no friction, if acceration is zero then force would be zero, Force=mass x acceleration

Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.

Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
