When a body is at rest, its velocity is:

Answer: zero.

  • A zero
  • B maximum
  • C infinite
  • D negative

Correct answer: A. zero

Explanation: A body at rest is not moving, so its velocity is zero.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context

Equations of motion, projectile motion, relative velocity. Foundation of all mechanics.
