Give an example in which velocity is zero yet acceleration is not.
Short Answer
Ball going up and coming down when the ball is at top velocity is zero, but acceleration is.

Get started for freeIn a slap shot, a hockey player accelerates the puck from a velocity of 8.00 m/s to 40.0 m/s in the same direction. If this shot takes\({\bf{3}}{\bf{.33 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 2}}}}\;{\bf{s}}\), calculate the distance over which the puck accelerates.
a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.35}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\). How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h, starting from rest? (b) The same train ordinarily decelerates at a rate of\({\bf{1}}{\bf{.65}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\). How long does it take to come to a stop from its top speed? (c) In emergencies the train can decelerate more rapidly, coming to rest from 80.0 km/h in 8.30 s. What is its emergency deceleration in\({\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)?
What is the acceleration of a rock thrown straight upward on the way up? At the top of its flight? On the way down?
Blood is accelerated from rest to 30.0 cm/s in a distance of 1.80 cm by the left ventricle of the heart. (a) Make a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How long does the acceleration take? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, and then discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking your units. (d) Is the answer reasonable when compared with the time for a heartbeat?
An Olympic-class sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of\({\bf{4}}{\bf{.50}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\). (a) What is her speed 2.40 s later? (b) Sketch a graph of her position vs. time for this period.
