A body in one dimensional motion has zero speed at an instant. At that instant, it must have

A

Zero acceleration

B

Non-zero acceleration

C

Zero velocity

D

Non-zero velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Acceleration of the particle can be zero as well as non-zero, but when speed of the partcle is zero then its velocity is zero for sure at the same instant. Hence option (c ) is correct.
