Absolutely. That's exactly the situation of a rubber ball that was tossed straight up,
at the instant when it's at the top of its arc.
Any object that's not connected to anything else and is rising or falling has constant
acceleration ... the acceleration of gravity. If it was originally launched upward, then
it eventually runs out of steam, stops, reverses direction, and starts moving down.
At that instant during its constant acceleration, its velocity is zero.
What else can I help you with?
Are speed and acceleration the same?
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
What does the area under an acceleration time graph show?
The area under an acceleration-time graph is equal to the object's velocity (not change in velocity).
What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?
Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time
Can an object have zero velocity of the same time that it has acceleration?
Yes, of course; but it will only have zero velocity for one infinitesimal moment. Check your calculus text.
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?
As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.
Is velocity the same as acceleration?
No, velocity and acceleration are not the same. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. In other words, acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing.
Are velocity and acceleration the same?
They are definitely NOT the same. Acceleration is not velocity; acceleration is the RATE OF CHANGE of velocity. In symbols: a = dv/dt, which basically means that you divide the difference of velocity by the time, for a small time interval. Acceleration and velocity are both vectors.
How can the velocity of an object be calculated using acceleration and time?
The velocity of an object can be calculated by multiplying the acceleration of the object by the time it has been accelerating for. This calculation is done using the formula: velocity acceleration x time.
What is the velocity formula that includes acceleration and time, and how can it be used to calculate the velocity of an object?
The velocity formula that includes acceleration and time is: velocity initial velocity (acceleration x time). This formula can be used to calculate the velocity of an object by plugging in the initial velocity, acceleration, and time values into the equation. The result will give you the final velocity of the object after a certain amount of time has passed.
Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?
If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No, there is no acceleration when an object is traveling at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so if the velocity is constant, there is no change and therefore no acceleration.
A change in indicates the acceleration of an object.?
No, a change in velocity indicates the acceleration of an object. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
Which term explains whether and object velocity has increases or decreases over time?
Acceleration describes the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. If an object's velocity is increasing, it has positive acceleration. If the velocity is decreasing, it has negative acceleration.
What kind of speed has no acceleration?
A constant speed has no acceleration. When an object is moving at a constant speed, its velocity remains the same over time, and there is no change in acceleration.
What do acceloration and velocity have in common?
Acceleration and velocity are both related to the motion of an object. Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, while acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time. In other words, acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time.
Which describes an object and velocity that changes by the same amount each second?
An object with a constant acceleration will have its velocity change by the same amount each second. The acceleration remains constant, causing a uniform increase or decrease in velocity over time.
