Zero acceleration occurs when a body's velocity is constant.

Newton's First Law of Motion tells us that this occurs when the external forces acting upon a body are balanced.

Is it possible for your speed to be zero when your acceleration is not zero?

Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.


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.


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.


Is a person running in a circular track at 7mph an example of constant velocity at zero acceleration and if so why?

Yes, a person running in a circular track at a constant speed of 7mph is an example of constant velocity and zero acceleration. While the person is changing direction, their speed remains constant, resulting in a steady velocity. Acceleration would only occur if there were a change in speed or direction.


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.


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.


Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?

The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be 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.


If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?

"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.


Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?

Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.


Is your speed is constant if you are traveling in a straight line with an acceleration of zero?

If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
