can a body have zero acceleration but non zero velocity?

Yes we can have zero acceleration and non zero velocity in case of uniform motion in which an object is moving in straight line with constant speed ,here object has non zero velocity but there is no change in velocity so no acceleration.

Assuming rightward is the positive direction. Newton's first law says that if the net force on an object is zero ( Σ F = 0 \Sigma F=0 ΣF=0\Sigma, F, equals, 0), then that object will have zero acceleration. That doesn't necessarily mean the object is at rest, but it means that the velocity is constant.

Change in velocity per unit time is acceleration, so if velocity is constant, no acceleration. You can however have accelerated motion with constant speed, this is the case for object in circular orbit. But you can't have constant velocity in an accelereted motion…. ... A body moves from rest position after 5 seconds.

If a body is moving with constant velocity, acceleration is zero. So net force acting on it will be also zero. But the body has energy due to its constant motion. ... So even if the body is moving with constant velocity, it can impart its momentum to other body.

If so, give an example. Yes, an object that was set in motion in the past by some force, but that is no longer being acted on by a net force, is moving but with zero acceleration, i.e. it is moving at constant velocity. For example, a puck sliding along a horizontal plane of ice after being hit with a hockey stick.

Acceleration is the velocity increasing or decreasing(depend direction of acceleration ) in 1 second. ... So at maximum height velocity becomes zero. then acceleration still acting on object and there is no balancing force at maximum height which can hold the object at max height.

Acceleration is defines as the change in velocity per unit time. If object is moving with uniform velocity, its velocity is constant, that means final and initial velocity are same.. so acceleration will be 0.

Since acceleration is the change in velocity over time, there has to be a change in velocity for something to accelerate. In other words, if something is accelerating, it has to have a variable velocity. If the velocity is constant however, the acceleration is zero (because the velocity isn't changing over time).

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. constant velocity is the velocity which doesn't change per time. So,if the velocity is constant,the acceleration is zero.

Velocity is the speed AND DIRECTION of travel. Acceleration is the CHANGE in VELOCITY. ... If we look at the definition of acceleration, by definition, if an object's velocity is not changing, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, no, it is not possible to have acceleration with constant velocity.

The object is either at rest and the velocity is zero, or it moves in a straight line with a constant speed. The acceleration of an object is parallel and directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

At a projectile's highest point, its velocity is zero. At a projectile's highest point, its acceleration is zero.

When acceleration is zero …that means the rate of change of velocity is zero .. So the velocity do not changes … i.e if the body is at rest , it'll remain at rest and if it's moving at a velocity 'v' …it'll continue moving away that same velocity.

Answer and Explanation: Acceleration is NOT a scalar quantity. Like velocity and position before it, acceleration is a vector quantity. ... Acceleration needs to have a direction (and is thus never a scalar) as it will eventually dictate the direction of motion for an object.

Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. A plane will fly at constant velocity if the acceleration is zero.

Acceleration is the rate your velocity (not speed) changes. The acceleration of a car that travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 100 km/h is zero. Average acceleration = (change in velocity)/(time it takes). Since the car's change in velocity is zero, its acceleration is zero.
