Yes - but only for a short instant. For example, when you throw an object up - ignoring air resistance - it will accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 meters per second per second. At one moment, and assuming you threw it directly upwards, it will briefly stop, i.e. when it gets to the highest point, its speed and therefore its velocity will be reduced to zero, and then it will start moving downward. But it is accelerating all the time - its speed is changing.

Is the net force acting on a body is zero will the velocity be zero?

Not necessarily. If the net force acting on a body is zero, the body's velocity will remain constant (assuming no other forces act on it to change its velocity), but it doesn't mean the velocity will be zero. If the initial velocity is zero, then the velocity will remain zero if the net force is zero.


What is the acceleratipn of a body with uniform velocity and why?

The acceleration of a body with uniform velocity is zero because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is constant, then there is no change in velocity over time, so the acceleration is zero.


When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?

When a body has constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so if velocity is constant, there is no change and hence no acceleration.


Why is the velocity of accelerated body may be zero?

The velocity of an accelerated body may be zero when it temporarily stops moving at a specific point during its acceleration process. This can happen if the body changes direction or experiences a deceleration that causes its velocity to drop to zero before changing again to increase its velocity in the opposite direction.


If a body is moving with a uniform velocity.what will be its acceleration?

If a body is moving with a uniform velocity, its acceleration will be zero. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change in velocity over time and thus zero acceleration.

An example of an object having zero accelration and non-zero velocity?

If you can ignore friction for a while, then a good example is: A golf ball or squash ball rolling on a hardwood floor, like a basketball court.


How do you calculate accelration?

change in velocity over change in time

Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?

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.


Can a body have without velocity?

Yes, but it will have a non-zero velocity afterwards.


Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?

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


Could the body's velocity be zero?

if it is not moving


An a body more with constant acceleration but with zero velocityif yeswhy?

No. Well, such a body can have zero velocity for a brief instant, but it won't stay at such a velocity, because "acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.

This can happen if the body changes direction or experiences a deceleration that causes its velocity to drop to zero before changing again to increase its velocity in the opposite direction.


What is acceleration of a body moving with uniform velocity?

zero because the initial and final velocity is constant . so,difference bet. final velocity and initial velocity is zero
