What is the maximum weight a planet can get to?

There is no maximum weight that a planet can get to. A planet's weight depends on its mass and the gravity it has.


Can a body have accerlation butb still have zero velocity?

Yes, it is possible. When a body thrown upward (from the surface of Earth or any other planet but with velocity small enough not to overcome the gravity) and reaches its maximum elevation its velocity is zero but the acceleration is g (due to gravity).

Is friction the opposite of gravity?

There is no opposite to gravity, although the theoretical force would be antigravity.Friction only opposes gravity as air resistance, where molecular collisions impede acceleration and can produce a maximum or terminal velocity.
