Going back to definitions, Velocity is change of distance with time;
and acceleration is change in velocity with time.
Initially, the velocity is zero, as is the acceleration, BUT the Force of Gravity attracts the falling mass, and causes velocity to appear.
But the continued application of the Force of Gravity causes the velocity to increase.
And as we know, increase in velocity is acceleration. [space for QED]

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
How do you find initial acceleration.?
The initial acceleration of an object can be found by calculating the change in velocity over time. This can be done by dividing the final velocity by the time taken to reach that velocity. The formula for initial acceleration is: initial acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
Can the effect of initial velocity on final velocity be predicted?
Well, (final velocity) = (initial velocity) + (acceleration x time)
What would be true if the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?
A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.
What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?
A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.
What is acceleration of a body moving with uniform velocity?
zero because the initial and final velocity is constant . so,difference bet. final velocity and initial velocity is zero
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled can YOU determine an object and ACCELERATION?
no, you need to know its initial velocity to determine this; if initial velocity is zero then distance is 1/2 acceleration x time squared
What is u velocity when v velocity is acceleration?
'v' generally refers to final velocity 'u' generally refers to initial velocity (because not everything starts from a motionless state, where 'u' would equal zero) It is better to annotate initial velocity as v0 (v-sub-zero or simply v-zero).
Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?
Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.
Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?
Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?
Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.
What is the formula for calculating final velocity when you know the initial speed and the acceleration?
the formula for finding acceleration is final velocity, minus initial velocity, all over time. So if you have the acceleration and initial speed, which is equal to the initial velocity, you must also have time in order to find the final velocity. Once you have the time, you multiply it by the acceleration. That product gives you the difference of the final velocity and initial velocity, so then you just add the initial velocity to the product to find the final velocity.
What is another word for zero velocity?
Zero velocity = No acceleration
