Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a body can have zero velocity and finite acceleration, we can analyze the situation using the concepts of kinematics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Velocity and Acceleration**: - Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. It can be zero when the body is at rest or at a turning point in its motion. - Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It can be finite even when the velocity is zero. ...

Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is a vector quqntity. The magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to distance. For a moving body displacement can be zero but distance cannot be zero. Same concept is applicable regarding velocity and speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If acceleration is constant, then equations of kinematics are applicable for one dimensional motion under the gravity in which air resistance is considered, then the value of acceleration depends on the density of medium. Each motion is measured with respect of frame of reference. Relative velocity may be greater // smaller to the individual velocities.
