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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer #1:

No. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, regardless of magnitude or sign.

If an obect has a velocity of 0 m/s, then it's acceleration must also be 0 m/s.

However, an object can have a velocity with zero acceleration if the velocity is

constant.

===========================

Answer #2:

An object can have acceleration and still have zero velocity AT ONE INSTANT of time.

When you toss a ball or a stone upward, it has constant acceleration downward,

due to gravity, as soon as it leaves your hand. It proceeds upward for a while, then

stops and begins to move downward. At the very peak of the arc, at the transition

from upward to downward motion, its velocity is zero.

Same for a pendulum at either end of every swing.

Answer 3

Yes, it can. When an object has constant speed it has no acceleration.

Answer 4

The answer you seek is within you must find it yourself to understand

Answer 5

absolutely. it can change direction. Objects moving in circles are always accelerating

Answer 6

No, once an object stops moving, it is no longer accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if an object has zero velocity, it cannot have acceleration.

Answer 7

no, but it has Potential energy
