Question

Can a body have zero velocity and still be accelerating ?

Answer 1

Hello !

$\fbox{<strong>YES}$

When a body is protected vertically upwards at the highest point of it's path, the velocity of the body is zero. but it's Acceleration is not zero, which is equal to Acceleration due to Gravity acting downwards.

In S.H.M at the extreme position, the velocity of the particle is zero but remember it's Acceleration is not zero.

Thank You !

Answer 2

heya !!



here is your answer⤵️⤵️


Yes,


A body can have zero velocity and still be accelerating.



when object is thrown upward it's velocity is zero and acceleration remains same.


This is due to gravity. so, the acceleration will be 9.8 m/ sec.
