It means there is no net force acting on it.
A plane in the air has no acceleration, but it does have forces acting on it.
Lift pushes it up
Gravity pushes it down
Air resistance opposes its movement
Thrust provides movement
When all these forces are equal the plane will move at a constant velocity. If one of these forces becomes greater the NET force on the plane will no longer be 0 and there will be an acceleration or deceleration.
Hope that helps.
Another example would be space as there are no opposing forces, if in space once a speed was that speed would be constant until you 1.) decelerated with a force in the opposite direction 2.) accelerated the speed past your current velocity in your current direction 3.) Get caught by some planets gravity and crash to you death (but then this question is the least of your problems)
NO, acceleration refers to change in speed, either speeding up(positive acceleration) or slowing down (negative acceleration.)
Zero acceleration merely means it is holding a constant speed, whatever that may be (including, but not limited to a constant speed of zero.)
No, an object with zero velocity does not necessarily have zero acceleration. The best example of this is an object that is thrown into the air. Let's look at that.
The object that is lofted up is constantly accelerated by gravity. The object will have some initial velocity, and its velocity will decrease under the influence (the constant acceleration) of gravity. At some point it will "stop" in air for an instant, and the velocity of the object will be zero. But gravity has always been accelerating the object, and it will continue to do so, pulling it back down to earth. The object was accelerating at g, which is the earth's gravitational constant, even during the instant that it was not moving.
Sooooo....in the above explanation, Quirkyquantummechanic appears to have successfully argued that "zero acceleration" is, in fact, a degree of acceleration, and is not the same as "no acceleration". Also, QQM indirectly pointed out that an object approaching zero velocity also approaches zero acceleration, and at the precise moment of zero velocity, the object is at zero acceleration albeit still under the influence of acceleration.
Therefore, the answer to the original question is still "Yes" - an object at zero velocity does have zero acceleration.
yes the acceleration is at zero because there is no change in acceleration if the velocity is constant
No, acceleration is a CHANGE in speed, something with 0 acceleration while not changing speed can still be moving.
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
If a body is moving at constant velocity in a straight line, the acceleration is zero and the net force acting on it is zero. F = ma F = m x 0 F = 0
forces of body depends on the path it is moving for example if it is moving in straight path it under go forces like frictional forces and forces applied on it if the body is moving in slant path it has frictional force,acceleration due to to gravity(which acts down wards)
There are many forces acting on a body. But, the moves because of the net force acting on it. So, we can say that the body accelerates because of net force acting on it only.
The force on a body determines its acceleration, speed depends on how long the acceleration lasts. Wind resistance and road friction (or other mechanical drag) will affect the power required to maintain a certain speed.
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
force acting on unit mass of body is the acceleration of that body.
It is the force acting on the body. More precisely, it is the component of the force acting in the direction of the acceleration.
Force! Acceleration a=f/m, the force F changes the acceleration.
If a body is moving at constant velocity in a straight line, the acceleration is zero and the net force acting on it is zero. F = ma F = m x 0 F = 0
There can well be forces acting on the body. It means that the NET FORCE (the vector sum of all the forces) acting on the object is zero.
forces of body depends on the path it is moving for example if it is moving in straight path it under go forces like frictional forces and forces applied on it if the body is moving in slant path it has frictional force,acceleration due to to gravity(which acts down wards)
It is acceleration in the horizontal direction. This would happen as a result of a net horizontal force acting on a body.
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.
There are many forces acting on a body. But, the moves because of the net force acting on it. So, we can say that the body accelerates because of net force acting on it only.
The measure of a force acting on a body is the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration in the direction of the applied force.
