When is velocity parallel to acceleration?

Explain circumstances, in which the velocity acceleration of a body is parallel?


Explain the circumstances in which the velocity and acceleration of the body is parallel?

the acceleration of the car is increasind.Then the v and a are parallel to each other.


When is velocity antiparallel to acceleration?

when a ball is thrown upwards velocity increases but acceleration decreases hence making it anti parallel to each other


Is there any point along the path of projectile where velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other?

Using the term "trajectory" implies that the acceleration you are concerned about is due to gravity. Gravity will always be perpendicular to the surface. Unless the trajectory begins perpendicular to the surface, it will never change to become perpendicular and the velocity will never be in a direction parallel to the acceleration. If it starts perpendicular to the surface it will start and remain perpendicular. Of course if you have another force acting on the object - such as wind - the component of the velocity vector parallel to the ground could be reduced to zero and at that point the only remaining component of the velocity vector would be that perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the acceleration. Likewise if the object is being propelled by an engine or rocket, the trajectory could be parallel to the force any time the acceleration vector became parallel to the velocity vector.


When acceleration is 0 why does velocity have to be at a maximum?

It doesn't. If acceleration is zero, that just means that velocity isn'tchanging ... the motion is in a straight line at a constant speed.

What formula do you use to calculate the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line?

Acceleration = Final velocity - Initial velocity / time

Is angular momentum always parallel to angular acceleration?

momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel

It doesn't. If acceleration is zero, that just means that velocity isn'tchanging ... the motion is in a straight line at a constant speed.


Does a particle moving in a straight line have acceleration?

A particle moving in a straight line may or may not have acceleration. Acceleration is adifferent phenomenon altogether. the rate of change of velocity is acceleration, a particle can move in a straight line with a constant velocity thus having no acceleration & it can also move with increasing or decreasing velocities thereby accelerating or deaccelerating.


How the velocity uniform?

"Uniform velocity" means zero acceleration, that is, constant speed in a straight line.rate of change of velocity is zero


Does 0 acceleration means 0 velocity?

Not at all. Zero acceleration just means that the velocity is not changing ...the motion is in a straight line at a consgtant speed.


How are motion and acceleration different?

In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)
