Can stationary have non zero angular acceleration?

No, an object is considered stationary when it has zero velocity and zero acceleration. Angular acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's angular velocity changes over time. If something has a non-zero angular acceleration, it means that it is rotating at a changing rate.


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 are the magnitude of the angular velocity and the angular accelaration of the second hand of a clock?

-- The angular velocity isone revolution/minute = 360 degrees/minute = 6 degrees/second .(2 pi) radians/minute = pi/30 radians per second . -- If the clock is working properly ... not starting, stopping, speeding up, orslowing down ... then the angular acceleration of any of its hands is zero.


What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?

A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.


Why acceleration of pendulum is zero at the mean position?

The acceleration of a pendulum at the mean position is zero because the force of gravity acting on the pendulum's mass is balanced by the tension in the string. When the pendulum is at its mean position, the forces acting on it are equal and opposite, resulting in a net force of zero and therefore zero acceleration.

Can a stationary object have a non zero angular acceleration?

No, a stationary object cannot have a non zero angular acceleration. Angular acceleration is a measure of how an object's angular velocity changes over time, so if an object is not rotating, its angular acceleration is zero.

Can acceleration vary with time when acceleration is zero?

If acceleration varies with time, it can of course AT ONE PARTICULAR INSTANT be equal to zero. However, it can't both change over time and remain at zero all the time.

What is acceleration when force acted on the object is equal from both sides?

The acceleration is zero, since the net force (or total force) is zero: the acceleration on one side cancels out the acceleration on the other. Imagine pushing your hands together. Equal and opposite forces cancel out, and your hands remain in the middle.


What are the conditions for equilibrium?

The two conditions of equilibrium are: 1. Concurrent Equilibrium the sum of vector forces through a point is zero. 2. Coplanar equilibrium, the sum of forces in a plane is zero and the sum of the torques around the axis of the plane is zero. These two conditions are similar to Ohms Laws in Electricity: Ohms Node Law the sum of the currents at a node is zero and Ohms Voltage law, the sum of the voltages around a loop is zero. These equilibrium conditions reflect the Quaternion mathematics that controls physics. Quaternions consist of a scalar or real number and three vector numbers. Equilibrium is the Homogeneous condition of a quaternion equation: the sum of the scalars or real numbers must be zero AND the sum of the vector numbers must also be zero. Thus there are TWO Conditions for Equilibrium. However if we were to use quaternions as nature does, then Equilibrium would be simplified to the zero quaternion condition.

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.

Is acceleration due to gravity act on a body resting on a table zero?

Yes, when an object is resting on a table, the acceleration due to gravity acts vertically downward, but the table exerts an equal and opposite force (normal force) on the object in the upward direction, canceling out the effect of gravity. Therefore, the net acceleration on the body is zero.


What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?

The magnitude of the acceleration required to make the balance reading zero would equal the gravitational acceleration acting downwards on the balance. The direction of this acceleration would be upward to counteract the gravitational force acting downward, resulting in a net force of zero on the balance.
