Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the velocity of an object is zero, then that object cannot be accelerating.
A
either true or false
B
False
C
neither true nor false
D
true
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This means that the change in the velocity is still taking place when the velocity of the object reaches zero. Therefore, the body is still accelerating. Example-When a ball is thrown upwards on earth with a constant velocity, the gravitational force of the earth acts on it in the opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, an object can have zero velocity and still be accelerating.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is possible that the acceleration of a particle is non-zero and velocity is zero at the same instant. For example, if a ball is thrown up then at the highest point, velocity is zero but the acceleration is non-zero.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an objects acceleration is zero, then its speed must remain constant.
