The same as that of the aircraft that he /she is in. If flying level, it would be zero.

What is instant centers?

An "instant center" (IC) is a point that instantaneously has the same velocity in two bodies.


Can an object have zero velocity at the same time that it has acceleration?

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.


A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant before it hits the ground?

To calculate the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground, we can use the equation of motion: velocity = acceleration x time. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Given the time of 3.0 seconds, we can plug these values into the equation to find the velocity. Therefore, the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is 29.4 m/s.

Instantaneous speed at an instant is equal to magnitude of instantaneous velocity at that instant Why is it so?

Instantaneous velocity mean change of displacement in extremely small amount time. (in math way, taking[ lim t--->0 (change in displacements/change in time) ]. instantaneous speed is the same expect displacement change to distance. So,because of very very small change in time, magnitude of distance and displacement will be same for any direction the object is moving.

Is it possible for a body with zero velocity to have non-zero acceleration?

Yes, but only for a single instant in time. When you throw a golf ball or a rock straight up, it has the constant downward acceleration of gravity from the moment it leaves your hand, but its velocity is certainly not constant. The velocity steadily decreases until the peak of the toss, and then it switches from upward to downward velocity. At the very peak, the velocity is zero for an instant.


What is acceleration at instantaneous maximum velocity?

In the case of an object thrown, batted, teed off, or dropped, its acceleration at the instant of its maximum velocity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.


What is instantaneous velocity or speed?

It is the speed or velocity at a particular instant.


What is the velocity of a ball when it reaches its maximum altitude?

-- We can't say anything about the velocity, because we don't know anything about the horizontal motion of the ball. With the information included in the question, we can only be sure of how the vertical component of velocity behaves. -- At the maximum altitude of the ball, there's the instant where its vertical speed changes from upward to downward. At that instant, its vertical speed is zero.


When an object and acceleration is zero at some instant t in time its velocity is?

If an object's acceleration is zero at a specific instant in time, its velocity can either be zero or a constant non-zero value at that instant. This means that the object could be either at rest or moving with a constant velocity at that particular moment.


Does a car driving round a track have a velocity if you end in the same place as starting?

The car's average velocity for one complete lap is zero, because the distance betweenits starting and ending points is zero. But at each instant, its velocity is given by its speedand the direction it's moving at that time.


Consider the instantaneous velocity of a body this velocity is always in the direction of what the net force at that instant the least resistance at that instant or the motion at that instant?

The instantaneous velocity of a body is always in the direction of the resultant force acting on it at that instant. It is influenced by the net force and not necessarily by the least resistance or the current motion of the body.


When an object At the highest point there's an instant when the motion is changing from upward to downward then what is its velocity?

At that moment, its vertical velocity is zero. Its horizontal velocity may or may not be zero, i.e., it may be moving sideways as well.


Can the velocity of an object at an instant of time be greater in magnitude than the average velocity over a time interval containing the instant. Can it be less?

Yes, the velocity of an object at an instant of time can be greater than the average velocity over a time interval containing the instant, especially if the object is changing velocity rapidly. Similarly, it can also be less than the average velocity, especially if the object is reversing direction or slowing down during that time interval.


When an object is thrown straight up at the highest point the downward velocity is?

A rock has the same constant acceleration from the moment it leaves your hand until the moment it hits the ground. It doesn't matter whether you dropped it or threw it, or in what direction it left you. The acceleration is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 directed downwards. That's the acceleration of gravity on earth. As you asked, let's say you tossed it straight upwards. A tiny instant before it reaches the exact top, it has a small upward speed. A tiny instant after it passes the exact top, it has a small downward speed. During that tiny space of time, its upward speed decreases and its downward speed increases. That's a downward acceleration in anybody's book.


How fast velocity is changing at a specific instant?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.


Is it possible that a particle has zero velocity but still have a acceleration?

If the velocity equals zero, the acceleration is also zero because the velocity hasn't changed, thus, the particle isn't accelerating anywhere. This is not exactly true; at an instant in time the acceleration can be non-zero while the velocity is zero. However, this would change the velocity to non-zero after any amount of time. An example of this is when you throw a ball into the air: at it's highest point, the velocity is zero (it changes from going upward to going downward, passing through zero for an instant). However the acceleration is downward the entire time.
