Can You Solve this Ice Diamond Riddle? ft. Vsauce’s Michael Stevens

2:42 Diana, I absolutely share your bewilderment.
Something I've wondered about for a long time: Force is mass * acceleration. And in the instant or period when the object stopped, the acceleration is 0. So, assuming the mass to be constant, how can you ever get enough force to accelerate anything that has a current acceleration of 0?

My personal solution to the problem is that the acceleration of each atom is never 0 for any temperature above 0 Kelvin, but I don't know whether that's the actual answer.

Edit: #everydaymysteries
not so every day, but still a mystery you could help solve.
