What is the speed of a body which is at rest?
Definitely zero
Definitely non-zero
Can be zero or non-zero
Position needs to be known to find the speed
A body which is at rest doesn’t change its position with time. This means the distance covered by it is zero. Hence, its speed is zero.
Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons and examples, if it is true or false; A particle in one-dimensional motion a) with zero speed at an instant may have non-zero acceleration at that instant b) with zero speed may have non-zero velocity, c) with constant speed must have zero acceleration, d) with positive value of acceleration must be speeding up.
