Question

Is it possible for an object to be at zero velocity when its acceleration is not zero? Explain with an example

Expert Solution

Step 1

As acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time

so The acceleration of an object can be non zero even if it has zero velocity at an moment.

That means its velocity is varying from one non-zero to zero and at one instant the velocity is zero but change in velocity with respect to time is non zero.
