Question

Only one force acts on an object. can the object have zero acceleration? can it have zero velocity? explain

Answer 1

If only one force is acting an object it can have zero acceleration but it cannot have zero velocity. This occurs because acceleration is a change in speed, therefore when one force is acting upon the object the speed will remain constant. It can't have zero velocity because if one force is acting upon it then it is moving and no matter what that means it will have a velocity that isn't zero.
