If a body is at rest at time T then its acceleration must be zero. Is this statement true or false please provide explanation also Share with your friends Share 1 Debalina Deb answered this Dear student, when a body is at rest, then net force acting on it = Fnet =0now, we know F = mahence, Fnet =ma=0⇒a=0so, in general, when a body is at rest, we can say the acceleration =0But let us assume a case, where we thrown an object upward with velocity u, at the maximum height , its velocity become zero, and for that moment the body is considered to be at rest.but for that time also, gravitational acceleration acts in the downward direction.So, a body at rest can have non-zero acceleration Regards, -1 View Full Answer
