* The object is not moving at the beginning of its motion.
* Its speed at time t = 0 is 0.
Here are some examples of situations where the initial velocity is zero:
* A ball at rest on a table: Before you throw it, the ball is not moving.
* A car stopped at a traffic light: The car is stationary before it begins to accelerate.
* A skydiver before jumping out of the plane: The skydiver is at rest within the plane.
Important Note: While the initial velocity is zero, the object can still accelerate and gain velocity over time.
