Can the velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is non- zero? Elaborate.
If an object is thrown straight up and air resistance is negligible, then its speed when it returns to the starting point is the same as when it was released. If air resistance were not negligible, how would its speed upon return compare with its initial speed? How would the maximum height to which it rises be affected?
Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Give an example of such a situation.
