If the velocity of a particle is nonzero can the particle's acceleration be zero?
yes. If the forces acting on the a moving particle are in equilibrium, (e.g. when a spherical object reaches terminal velocity (neglecting increased air resistance as it gets closer to the ground)) then the particle will be moving at a velocity, that is not 0, yet the velocity will remain constant, and the body will not accelerate or decelerate in any direction, and thus the acceleration is 0.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for an object to be accelerating even though it has stopped moving?
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.
How does vector calculus apply in fluid mechanics?
The velocity at each point in the fluid is a vector. If the fluid is compressible, the divergence of the velocity vector is nonzero in general. In a vortex the curl is nonzero.
Can a body resting on a table have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
It depends on the frame of reference (where it is).On Earth a body on a table is still rotating around the centre of the Earth. This implies a change of direction and thus having a velocity around the centre and an acceleration acceleration due to centripetal force that makes a body follow a curved path. Eben without this the body is orbiting the sun with the same impact
Under what conditions is it possible to have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration?
A body can have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration when it is in a circular motion because though it is having a constant speed but the direction in which it is moving keeps changing at each instance and since acceleration is a vector quantity,it becomes non-zero.
What is a nonzero integer that divides another nonzero integer with a remainder of zero called?
A factor.
Can a situation exist in which an object has zero acceleration and nonzero velocity even for an instant?
No, if an object has zero acceleration, its velocity cannot be changing. If the velocity is nonzero, it must either be increasing or decreasing, which requires acceleration.
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes, an object can have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration. This occurs when the object is changing its direction but not its speed. For example, in circular motion, the object's velocity is constantly changing direction, leading to a nonzero acceleration even when its speed is constant.
Do you agree with the statement an object with a zero velocity can have an acceleration greater than zero do you agree?
Yes, an object can have a zero velocity but a nonzero acceleration if it is changing its direction. For example, if an object is moving in a circular path at a constant speed, its velocity is zero at every instant, but its acceleration towards the center of the circle is nonzero.
Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?
Yes, an object moving at a constant velocity has zero acceleration even though it has a non-zero velocity. For example, a car driving at a steady speed on a straight highway has a constant velocity but zero acceleration.
Can you have a nonzero average velocity?
Yes. As long as the inital and end positions are different, you will have a nonzero average velocity.
Is it possible for an object to be accelerating even though it has stopped moving?
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.
What happens to an object in motion when it experiences a nonzero net force?
its velocity will change by accelerating in the direction of the force

Can a body have zero velocity with nonzero accelaration?
Yes, but only for an instant.
Can a situation exist in which an object has zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes, it is possible for an object to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration if the object is changing direction without changing speed. This can happen when an object is in circular motion, where its velocity is always tangential to the circle but its acceleration points towards the center.
Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time and give examples?
If an object has zero acceleration, its velocity doesn't have to be zero. Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity over time. Zero acceleration means there is no change in velocity over time, namely constant velocity. Constant velocity can be any velocity (including zero velocity or "at rest"), so the object's velocity doesn't have to be zero to have zero acceleration.
