Acceleration, which is the change of velocity over the change in time, will equal zero when there is no change in velocity. This can occur when an object is stationary or when an object is traveling at a constant velocity.

If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


Is it impossible when an object moving in a straight line has no acceleration?

Yes, if an object is moving in a straight line and has no change in its speed or direction, then it has no acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero.


Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?

Yes, an object can have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration. This occurs when the object is changing its direction but not its speed. For example, in circular motion, the object's velocity is constantly changing direction, leading to a nonzero acceleration even when its speed is constant.


Can a body have acceleration without velocity?

Yes, a body can have acceleration without velocity. This can occur if the body is changing its direction or speed while its velocity is zero at a particular moment. For example, a car at rest that suddenly accelerates forward experiences acceleration without velocity initially.


What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?

An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.

Can an object be moving if acceleration is zero?

Yes. Acceleration is defined as a change of speed and/or direction of motion. If the speed and direction of motion are constant, then there is no acceleration.


How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?

Velocity at zero means the object is not moving, while acceleration at zero means the object is moving at a constant velocity. Velocity at zero can be motionless or stationary, while acceleration at zero indicates that there is no change in velocity, even if the object is moving.


If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?

An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.


Is the retardation means zero acceleration?

No, retardation refers to a negative acceleration, which means the object is slowing down. A zero acceleration means the object is moving at a constant velocity.


When does an acceleration becomes zero?

Acceleration being zero is equivalent to the statement that an object's velocity doesn't change.


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.


An example of zero acceleration would be what?

If you are moving at a speed of ceratin speed and there is no force trying to slow you down, and there is no force trying to speed you up. Then there is zero acceleration. An example would be : an object in out in space, if you throw a object away from you the object will float away, since there is no force working on the object after you throw it the object is moving away in a locked speed from you, but have zero acceleration because there is no force affecting the object


How an object could still be moving with the 0 acceleration?

An object can still be moving with zero acceleration if it is moving at a constant velocity. When acceleration is zero, the object's velocity remains constant, meaning it continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction without any change in speed or direction.


How is velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?

Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing. So if there is zero velocity that means the object is not moving. If there is zero acceleration, that means that the speed is not increasing but there is actual speed and the object is not increasing it's speed what ever that may be.


Meaning of zero acceleration?

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


Can an object be moving but still have a net force of zero?

Yes, an object can be moving at a constant velocity (i.e., moving with no acceleration) and have a net force of zero. This occurs when the forces acting on the object are balanced, such as when an object is in equilibrium.


When the velocity of a moving object stay the same it has?

an acceleration of Zero, and a constant Inertia.
