Chapter 2: Q15CQ (page 79)
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.

A weather forecast states that the temperature is predicted to be −5ºC the following day. Is this temperature a vector or a scalar quantity? Explain.
While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of\({\bf{2}}{\bf{.40}}\;{\bf{m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? 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, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car’s final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in part (c), showing all steps explicitly.
What is the speed of the bird in Exercise 2.4.
How many times higher could an astronaut jump on the Moon than on Earth if his take-off speed is the same in both locations (gravitational acceleration on the Moon is about 1/6 of gon Earth)?
Does a car’s odometer measure position or displacement? Does its speedometer measure speed or velocity?
