How can acceleration be zero when velocity is constant?

Open in App

Solution

Derivative of velocity with respect to time is acceleration.That means if accelerations is zero, velocity must be constant. Now that constant could be anything like it could be 5 m/s .Also if the velocity is 0(which is itself a constant) also indicates that acceleration is zero.
