At a turning point, the acceleration is directed towards the center of the circular path, known as centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity as it moves along the curve. While the speed may remain constant, the change in direction means that there is an acceleration present, even if the object is not speeding up or slowing down. If there is also a change in speed at the turning point, there could be additional tangential acceleration involved.

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.


If a car turns right can acceleration be zero?

No, any turning object undergoes acceleration because the direction is always changing. The acceleration vector points into the circle of rotation, and the velocity vector is a tangent line to the circle at any given point. The equation is Centripetal Acceleration=v^2/r


When an object is turning a corner what direction is the acceleration?

The acceleration of an object turning a corner is directed towards the center of the circle that the object is moving along. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration and is responsible for changing the direction of the object's velocity, keeping it moving in a curved path.


What are 2 types of acceleration?

Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?

Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.


When an object is speeding up or slowing down or turning what is it?

The object is experiencing acceleration when it is speeding up or slowing down, and turning is an example of angular acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, either in speed or direction.
