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

Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?

Yes, an object moving at a constant velocity has zero acceleration even though it has a non-zero velocity. For example, a car driving at a steady speed on a straight highway has a constant velocity but zero acceleration.


Is a person running in a circular track at 7mph an example of constant velocity at zero acceleration and if so why?

Yes, a person running in a circular track at a constant speed of 7mph is an example of constant velocity and zero acceleration. While the person is changing direction, their speed remains constant, resulting in a steady velocity. Acceleration would only occur if there were a change in speed or direction.


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.


What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?

The magnitude of the acceleration required to make the balance reading zero would equal the gravitational acceleration acting downwards on the balance. The direction of this acceleration would be upward to counteract the gravitational force acting downward, resulting in a net force of zero on the balance.


What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?

A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.

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.

What is the acceleration of an object if the net force working on the object is zero?

The acceleration would also be zero in this case.

Is a book at rest on a table with gravity pulling down an example of acceleration?

Acceleration is zero in this case. Acceleration means the velocity is actually changing.


What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?

For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.


When can you have no acceleration?

To make acceleration equal zero. The velocity must be constant. For example, if velocity is constant at 10 m/s^2 its acceleration is zero. The same is true if velocity is 0 m/s^2.


If velocity is constant then what is the true accelleration?

In a theoretical scenario with constant velocity, the true acceleration would typically be zero.


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.
