Question
Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity and constant nonzero acceleration?
O Yes, but only if it is not moving at all.
O No, if its velocity is zero its acceleration must also be zero.
Yes, all objects with zero velocity have nonzero acceleration.
Yes, but its velocity must only be zero for an instant.
O No, if its acceleration is not zero its velocity cannot be zero.
