Answer
Yes, the velocity of an object can be zero while the acceleration is non-zero at the same time.
Work Step by Step
Yes, the velocity of an object can be zero while the acceleration is non-zero at the same time.
For example, whenever an object starts moving from rest, initially the velocity is zero, but a non-zero acceleration is required for the object to start moving.
Another example is an object thrown straight up in the air. At maximum height, the velocity is zero, but the object is accelerating downward due to the force of gravity.
