Question:
give an example of a body possessing zero velocity and still accelerating
Answer:
Velocity is a vector representing motion in a specific direction (down, up or north, etc.). Speed is motion in any direction. Acceleration (also a vector) is a change in velocity in a specific direction. Therefore, if you drop a rock under the influence of earths gravity, at the instant of release it will have zero velocity but an acceleration, g, due to gravity.
