Velocity is zero but acceleration is non-zero. Is it possibIe?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A body may have zero velocity but non-zero acceleration. For example, when a body is thrown vertically upwards at the maximum height the body momentarily comes to rest. At this point the body attains zero ation due to gravity directed downward.
