Acceleration is changing velocity.

Zero velocity means no motion.

Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.

Can a body have accerlation butb still have zero velocity?

Yes, it is possible. When a body thrown upward (from the surface of Earth or any other planet but with velocity small enough not to overcome the gravity) and reaches its maximum elevation its velocity is zero but the acceleration is g (due to gravity).


Can the initial velocity be different if the final velocity is 0?

Yes, it is possible for the initial velocity to be different from zero when the final velocity is zero. For example, an object could be thrown upwards and come to a stop at its highest point, where the final velocity would be zero.


Can constant velocity be zero?

Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.


What is instantaneous accerlation?

that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.


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.


Can particle have zero speed and non zero velocity?

No, a particle cannot have zero speed and non-zero velocity simultaneously. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and if speed is zero, then velocity must also be zero.


When the acceleration is zero what can you say about the velocity of an object?

When acceleration is zero, the object's velocity can still be changing if the initial velocity is not zero. However, if acceleration is zero and the initial velocity is also zero, then the object's velocity will remain constant.


What is the momentum of zero?

The momentum of an object with zero velocity is zero. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so if velocity is zero, momentum will also be zero.


What is another word for zero velocity?

Zero velocity = No acceleration


What is necessary for an object to be in complete rotational and translational equilibrium?

When the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body of mass is zero, the body has zero acceleration (that is, the body's centre of mass moves with constant velocity).In a similar fashion, if the net torque on a body is zero, the body has zero angular acceleration (that is, the body's angular velocity remains constant). This is the condition for rotational equilibrium.


What is the acceleration if velocity is zero?

velocity may be zero or may not be zero i.e. if the object may continue to move with uniform velocity.


Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?

Yes, it is possible to have zero acceleration with a non-zero velocity. This occurs when the velocity is constant. On a velocity-time graph, a flat, horizontal line represents constant velocity, while a zero slope (flat line) represents zero acceleration.
