If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.

What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?

An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.


Give an example in which velocity is zero yet acceleration is not zero?

Velocity is directional, so if something is accelerating in the opposite direction from the one it is moving it, there will come a point where it has 0 velocity but still has accelerating. If you throw a ball at the ground and it bounces, for example.


Is it possible for an object to be accelerating even after it has stopped moving?

Yes, a object can still be accelerating when the speed is zero, a classic example of which is throwing a ball straight up in the air, at the top of its trajectory it has an instantaneous velocity of zero while it is still accelerating towards the ground.


In acceleration if you were taking distance measurements of a free falling object at onesecond intervals you would see the object moving at each measurement interval?

If you were taking distance measurements of a free falling object at one-second intervals, you would observe the object accelerating downward. Each measurement interval would show the object covering a greater distance than the previous interval due to the acceleration from gravity acting on the object.


Is an upward moving object experiencing an upward force?

If the object is moving upwards with a constant velocity, there is only one arrow in the diagram, and it points straight down, due to gravity. If it has a force pulling upward on it, there are two arrows, one up, due to the force, and one down, again, due to gravity.
