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

Question

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

Answer 1

Yes.  An example is the acceleration and velocity of a ball you throw upwards.  When it is at the highest point, its velocity is zero, but during the whole time it is in motion, it is accelerating downwards at 1 g.

Answer 2

Of course it can.

Sitting still your velocity is zero, your acceleration is 9.8 m/s/s

Answer 3

no it cant, if u have an accelerating body, it always has a velocity

Answer 4

Yes. it can.

Throw a ball straight up in the air. At the moment it tops out and starts falling, its velocity is zero but its acceleration is 32 feet per second per second down, under the force of gravity.
