Can a body have zero velocity and still be accelerating

Can a body have zero velocity and still be accelerating? if yes, give situation.

Answered by admin @



Hello Tanu

Yes, a body with a velocity 0 can still accelerate.

The simplest example is a body which is thrown up. At the peak point its velocity becomes 0 but still accelerates due to gravity.

It's acceleration will be 9.8m/s² even when its velocity is 0

Hope it helps!!
