Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.

When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?
The acceleration is zero for a body having constant velocity.
What is the difference between rest and equilibrium?
Velocity of body and acceleration of body is zero implies body is at rest Acceleration of body is zero implies it is in a state of equilibrium Body in equilibrium can have non zero velocity
Meaning of zero acceleration?
Zero acceleration means no change in velocity and no force on the zero accelerating body.
What does it mean for a body to have zero acceleration?
The velocity of the body does not change.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Why is the body moving with a uniform velocity is zero?
The body is not zero, but the sum of all forces on it is. -- "Uniform velocity" means no acceleration. -- Acceleration is force/mass . -- If acceleration is zero, that's an indication that force must be zero.
When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?
The acceleration is zero for a body having constant velocity.
Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?
Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.
What is the difference between rest and equilibrium?
Velocity of body and acceleration of body is zero implies body is at rest Acceleration of body is zero implies it is in a state of equilibrium Body in equilibrium can have non zero velocity
Meaning of zero acceleration?
Zero acceleration means no change in velocity and no force on the zero accelerating body.
What does it mean for a body to have zero acceleration?
The velocity of the body does not change.
An a body more with constant acceleration but with zero velocityif yeswhy?
No. Well, such a body can have zero velocity for a brief instant, but it won't stay at such a velocity, because "acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.
Can a body have zero velocity and still acceleration?
No. A velocity indicates a speed and direction. An acceleration is a change in speed or direction.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
Is it possible for a body to have an acceleration when moving with constant velocity?
No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.No; acceleration means the velocity changes.
If a body is moving with constant velocity is it moving with constant acceleration?
An object moves with constant velocity when there is no net force acting upon it. If there are no forces acting on an object, or if the forces acting on it "cancel out" leaving a net force of zero acting on the object, it will have zero acceleration. With a zero acceleration, the velocity of the object will be constant.
Can you have velocity without acceleration?
Yes, a body can have aceleration without velocity. Consider sin x the position; cos x is the velocity and -sin x is the acceleration. Here the acceleration negative when x=90 degrees and the velocity is zero at 90 degrees.
