Is it possible that there is a non-zero acceleration but with a speed of value zero?

Not with any sensible definition of "acceleration" and "velocity." You CAN accelerate an object and have it end up at zero velocity. But, if the acceleration remains a non-zero number, then the velocity can NOT remain at zero. Your question is like asking, "Can the value of a quantity change, but also remain the same?"


When a falling object has reached its teminal velocity its accleration?

When a falling object reaches its terminal velocity, its acceleration becomes zero. The downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance, resulting in no overall acceleration.


What is the acceleration of vehicle moving with uniform velocity?

The acceleration of a vehicle moving with uniform velocity is zero. This is because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the velocity is constant and not changing, then the acceleration is zero.


When the acceleration is zero what can you say about the velocity of an object?

When acceleration is zero, the object's velocity can still be changing if the initial velocity is not zero. However, if acceleration is zero and the initial velocity is also zero, then the object's velocity will remain constant.


What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100 kilometers per hour for 100 seconds?

If the car doesn't change direction during that 100 seconds, then it's zero. If the car's direction changes, then the acceleration isn't zero, but the question doesn't give any information from which to evaluate it.

What is the acceleration of falling object that has reached its terminal velocity?

Zero, by definition.


Can velocity of an object change when its acceleration is constant?

Certainly! By definition, the acceleration is the change, so it will change unless that amount is zero.


It it possible for an object to be sationary while under acceleration?

"Stationary" means zero speed. The object's speed is not changing, and the direction of the speed is obviously also not changing.By definition then, acceleration is zero.

Can a body moving in a circle zero velocity and constant acceleration in circular motion have?

Nein. If it's moving, by definition it has non-zero velocity.


What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a constant velocity of 100 kilometers per hour for 10 seconds?

The answer is very simple. The words "constant velocity" are the definition of zero acceleration.

Can an object acceleration if its velocity is constant?

No. It is a matter of definition. Acceleration is defined as a change of velocity. Technically, one must distinguish between velocity and speed. Velocity is a vector and includes the information about the magnitude (speed)and direction. One can have a constant speed and an acceleration (as in circular motion) but, by definition, constant velocity means zero acceleration.

Is it possible for a body to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration?

Answer:Yes, but only instantaneously.Consider a thrown ball moving directly upward. At the highest point of its trajectory, the instanataneous velocity (the velocity at that precise instant) is zero even while the acceleration due to gravity remains non zero.


When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?

When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.


Can an object have zero acceleration and eventually-reverses its acceleration?

I am not sure what you mean by reversing a zero acceleration. An object's acceleration can, of course, change over time.
