When is the acceleration zero? picture attached
Acceleration is required to change velocity
Look at the given diagram. Is the particle changing its direction of motion at point A ?
yes
So c is the correct answer because the velocity and acceleration are the same direction?
i mean Point C is the correct answer
Yes, C is correct. But your reason seems to be wrong
can you explain to me the reasoning?
Notice below : 1) As per the diagram, the magnitude of velocity is same through out the motion 2) Only the direction of the particle is changing
Acceleration is needed to change the direction of the particle
Convince yourself that around point C, the particle is almost travelling in a straight line without changing its direction
ah ok that makes sense, thank you.
