Is it possible for an object to be accelerating even though it has stopped moving?
Vinit123
No. A nonzero acceleration means that the velocity is changing, so it can only have a 0 velocity at a single point in time, such as when a ball thrown in the air reaches its peak.

A speed time graph forms a straight line which is an example of?
If it is a horizontal straight line, it means the object is moving at constant velocity. If it is a sloped line, it means the object is accelerating.
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represent its motion?
If its slanted up its accelerating, if down its decelerating.
CAN AN Object accelerate and be moving at a constant speed?
Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.
If an object is accelerating what would the distance time graph look like?
curve
What is a line sloping upwards on a speed time graph tell us?
The object is accelerating
What is the indication that a moving object is accelerating?
moving
When is an object not accelerating?
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
What are the possible effects of force when an object moving in a straight line is given a push in the opposite direction?
The object is slowed,The object is stopped,The object's motion is reversed.
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
When a falling object had stopped accelerating it has reached its?
"Terminal Velocity". Usually about 125 mph.
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object Amust not be moving Bmust be miving with constant velocity Cmust not be accelerating Dnone of these?
If the force acting upon an object are balanced then the object must not be accelerating
How can you say that object is accelarated?
If the object's speed is changing, or it's not moving in a straight line, then it's accelerating.
What happens when an unbalanced acts on an odject?
Statinory object can be moved. Moving object can be stopped. Direction of a moving object can be changed.etc.
How canyou say that an object is moving in an accelerated motion?
You would say that the object in motion is accelerating. Or you can say that the object's velocity is increasing.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
How can an object have zero acceleration?
i am ten so this will be a wimpy answer. it is an object that has nothing to propel it and therefor it has no acceleration. see wimpy Actually the above is wrong because an object can still be moving but it is accelerating only when there is a change in speed or direction. A car moving at a constant speed of 50 m/h is not accelerating however we can agree that it is still moving.
What happens to the speed of a moving object when it accelerates?
An object is accelerating if any of these things are happening . . .-- its speed is increasing-- its speed is decreasing-- its direction is changing.The object may be accelerating even if its speed isn't changing.Acceleration does not mean "speeding up".
