A body at rest and a body in motion have completely different velocities.

Magnitude of velocity:

At rest . . . zero

Moving . . . not zero

Direction of velocity:

At rest . . . no direction

Moving . . . some direction

What are the conditions for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity or the move with increasing velocity?

A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.


If a moving bodycomes to restthen its acceleration is-?

To come to rest, its velocity must change, therefore it will accelerate. Once it is at rest, if it remains at rest, it will no longer accelerate, i.e., its acceleration will be zero.


What does it mean for a body to have zero acceleration?

If a body has zero acceleration, it means the body is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity in a straight line. This implies that there is no change in its speed or direction over time.


How do you find momentum at rest?

Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity. P = mv. As the body is at rest its velocity v = 0. Hence momentum P =0.


What happens to the motion of an object if no net force acts?

If no net force acts on an object, the object will continue in its current state of motion. This means that if it is at rest, it will remain at rest, and if it is moving at a constant velocity, it will continue moving at that velocity.


What is a body that is not moving is said to be at what?

A body that is not moving is said to be at rest.


Can a body have acceleration while at rest?

yes!A2. The real problem is deciding when a body is at rest - or is it just the rest of the universe that is moving?


What is an object at rest velocity?

An object at rest has a velocity of zero. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed (magnitude) and direction. When an object is not moving, its velocity is zero.


When the velocity of the body is 0?

its in 2 cases:(1)when the body is not moving means it is in stationary position n 92)when the body changes its direction to its opp. direction.


What are the condition for an object to stay at rest the moving at constant velocity?

The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.


Can a body at rest have an accleration?

acceleration is a relative quantity . state of rest or motion is also relative . if two body is in rest or moving with same velocity and having same acceleration then one is in state of rest with respect to other . suppose a person sitting in a train then he is in rest with respect to train but he is moving with the acceleration of train with respect to the ground.


What is the net force acting on a body if body is moving with uniform velocity?

If a body is moving with uniform velocity, the net force acting on it is zero. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
