Yes, a body can be in motion but have zero acceleration if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, so if velocity is constant, acceleration is zero even though the body is in motion.

What is the speed and acceleration of a body thrown vertically upward vertically?

The speed of the body at the highest point is 0 m/s. The acceleration acting on the body is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s^2), which acts downward throughout the motion.


What is acceleration of body having uniform motion?

A body experiencing uniform motion does not have any acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and since the velocity of a body in uniform motion remains constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.


Is a body in motion also in equillibrium?

Possibly. If there are no external forces acting upon it, and hence no acceleration, then yes, the body can be in equilibrium. But if there is no acceleration,would the body be in motion?


The quantity that can be zero if a body remains in motion for sometime is?

Acceleration. Even if a body remains in motion for some time, its acceleration can be zero if the velocity remains constant.


What is Formula newtons first law of motion?

First law: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force.So, if F is the net force acting on the body and ais the body's acceleration (the rate of change of its velocity) then the first law says that:"If F = 0 then a = 0."This in fact follows from Newton's second law, which states that F = ma (where m is the body's mass).


The velocity of a body was noted to be constant during five minutes of its motion What was its acceleration during this interval?

The acceleration of the body was zero during this interval because its velocity was constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity does not change, the acceleration is zero.


Can a body in equilibrium if it is in motion?

It can be in equilibrium if in constant motion (constant velocity) as no forces are acting on it (no acceleration)


When the net force on an object increases how does the object acceleration change?

The answer to the question is in the formula, P = mf, where P = force applied, m = mass of the body and f = acceleration of the body. It also depends on the direction of the force. If the force is towards the motion of the body, the acceleration of the body will increase. If in case the force is acting against the direction of motion of the body, the acceleration will decrease.


Can a body moving with constant speed has acceleration?

Yes. Eg : in case of a uniform circular motion. In general, for every motion in which direction of motion of particle keeps changing continuously and the particle moves with same speed, then the net acceleration is non-zero, although tangential acceleration is zero.


When a body move in uniform motion why and how its acceleration is constant or equal to zero?

'Acceleration' means any change in speed or direction of motion.'Uniform' motion means no change in speed or direction.


Does 0 acceleration means 0 velocity?

Not at all. Zero acceleration just means that the velocity is not changing ...the motion is in a straight line at a consgtant speed.


When do you have motion?

When an unbalanced force act on a stationary body, it undergoes an acceleration in velocity and thus motion is produced
