Yes this is possible, when the velocity is constant. When velocity is constant there is no change in velocity, if there is no change in velocity then is no acceraltion. e.g. : a car traveling at a constant speed of 40m/s

∙ 14y ago(ignoring the fact that there is technically no such thing as zero speed) Assuming that in both instances they are relative to the same reference frame, no it is impossible. velocity is speed in a given direction, if its speed is 0, it can never have a non zero speed in any direction.
for example you could never say, that a car is not moving, but is moving north at 30m/s (well you could but you'd be wrong)

Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?
Yes, you can. Zero acceleration simply means there is no CHANGE in velocity. It doesn't mean there is no velocity.
How an objects be motionless and in equilibrium?
When an object is in equilibrium, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is zero, the velocity does not change; the non changing velocity includes the case when the velocity has value zero.
How can an object motionless and in equilibrium?
When an object is in equilibrium, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is zero, the velocity does not change; the non changing velocity includes the case when the velocity has value zero.
Why is constant velocity not acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. When velocity is constant, it is NOT CHANGING so acceleration is negligible or ZERO or non-existent.
Is it possible that there is a non-zero acceleration but with a speed of value zero?
Not with any sensible definition of "acceleration" and "velocity." You CAN accelerate an object and have it end up at zero velocity. But, if the acceleration remains a non-zero number, then the velocity can NOT remain at zero. Your question is like asking, "Can the value of a quantity change, but also remain the same?"
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
Can an object accelerate and have zero velocity?
I'm not a scientist, but the following seems reasonable to me. If your frame of reference is the earth's surface, then it seems clear that an object can have zero velocity and zero acceleration. You could even have non-zero velocity and zero acceleration. What seems impossible is to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration. When you think of accelaration think of changing velocity. A car moving straight down the highway at a constant speed of 55 mph is neither speeding up nor slowing down. Though it has velocity, there is no change in its velocity so acceleration will be zero. For a car parked on the side of the road, on the other hand, its velocity will be zero but what about its acceleration? Is velocity changing? No, so it will have zero velocity and zero acceleration.Yes.
Does a body moving with uniform acceleration have momentum?
As long as it has a non-zero velocity, it will have a non-zero momentum.
Does an object experiencing a constant velocity have a zero or non-zero value for acceleration?
If an object is sustaining a constant velocity it has 0 acceleration, because acceleration is either increasing or decreasing speed.
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.
Can an object maintain uniform velocity when its acceleration is non zero?
it cannot be same as the acc. is not 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
