Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an object has no speed, it cannot have an acceleration.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the given statement is false. Q. (1) If speed of a body is varying, its velocity must be varying and it must have non-zero acceleration. (2) If velocity of a body is varying, its speed must be varying.

Detailed explanation-2: -If there are no forces acting upon the object, then there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration, then the object will move with a constant velocity. Mathematically, we can look at Newton’s second law and the formula for acceleration.

Detailed explanation-3: -acceleration, rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down. Motion on a circle is accelerated even if the speed is constant, because the direction is continually changing.
