No. The velocity and acceleration are not zero because the direction is changing, thus the velocity and acceleration is changing.

Why is circular motion an example of constant acceleration?

Actually it isn't. In circular motion, even if you assume a constant speed (the simplest case), acceleration is towards the center. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time - and therefore, the acceleration changes all the time.


Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?

Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.


Is motion with constant velocity an example of motion with constant acceleration?

Well, technically yes, and we even know the magnitude of the constant acceleration.If velocity is constant, that tells you that acceleration is zero, which sounds likea constant to us.


Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?

Yes, an object moving at a constant velocity has zero acceleration even though it has a non-zero velocity. For example, a car driving at a steady speed on a straight highway has a constant velocity but zero acceleration.


Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed if yes explain giving examples?

Yes, an object can be accelerated even if it is moving at a constant speed if the direction of its velocity changes. This change in velocity, even if the magnitude of speed remains constant, indicates acceleration. For example, if a car is moving around a circular track at a constant speed, its direction is changing constantly, resulting in acceleration.

Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?

Yes, an object can have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration. This occurs when the object is changing its direction but not its speed. For example, in circular motion, the object's velocity is constantly changing direction, leading to a nonzero acceleration even when its speed is constant.


example of a change in acceleration while travelling at constant speed?

An example of a change in acceleration while traveling at constant speed can be observed when a vehicle moves in a circular path or takes a turn. Although the speed remains constant, the direction of the motion changes, which results in a change in velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, this alteration in direction causes a change in acceleration, even when the speed is constant.

What is formulas finding speed and velocity?

velocity = distance / time There are also some formulae involving acceleration; for example, in the case of constant acceleration: velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time If the acceleration is not constant, an integral is used instead.

What is an example of Circular acceleration?

a satellite in orbit; it is moving at constant speed but is accelerating outward in circular acceleration, balanced by gravity acceleration (centripetal force).


When can you have no acceleration?

To make acceleration equal zero. The velocity must be constant. For example, if velocity is constant at 10 m/s^2 its acceleration is zero. The same is true if velocity is 0 m/s^2.


When velocity is increasing can acceleration remains constant?

Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is made up of a magnitude (the speed), and a direction. Velocity can change if the speed increases, if it decreases, or if the direction changes. For example, when a car goes around a curve, you feel the force of the acceleration.


What circular motion is one in which an oblect moves in a circular path at constant speed?

Uniform circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. The object's velocity is constantly changing direction due to its circular motion, while its speed remains constant. This type of motion is an example of centripetal acceleration keeping the object moving in a circular path.
