Question

How can a body have acceleration when its velocity is zero?

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is thrown upwards, then at the maximum height, velocity of body is zero at that instant but it has acceleration due to gravity. So, at the highest point for a body thrown upwards, velocity is zero and acceleration is equal to g (9.8 ms^-2) in downward direction

Explanation:

Yes, an object can have zero velocity and still be accelerating simultaneously. ... When the object stops for a moment, its velocity at that instant is ... At the highest pt the body posseses zero velocity and finite acceleration.
