Does zero velocity at an instant necessarily mean zero acceleration at that instant?
AYes, it is always zero
BNo, it must be infinite
CNo, it can be non-zero
DYes, but only in free fall
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. No, it can be non-zero
A body turning back has zero velocity yet its velocity is still changing, so acceleration is non-zero.
