Final Answer:

The smallest positive value of t for which v=0 is 0.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity which is the rate of change of displacement or the rate of change of distance with respect to time. The equation of velocity can be written as, v=d/t. Since the question requires to find the smallest positive value of t for which v=0, then we can simply set v=0 and rearrange the equation to get t=d/0 which is undefined as division by 0 is not allowed in mathematics. Since 0 is the smallest positive value, then t=0 is the smallest positive value of t for which v=0.

Therefore, the smallest positive value of t for which v=0 is 0. It is important to remember that division by 0 is not allowed in mathematics and cannot be used to solve a given problem. The equation of velocity can be rearranged to solve for any variable given the other two variables and in this case by setting v=0, we can solve for t. It is also important to remember that the smallest positive value of any variable is 0.
