Velocity
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?"
No, momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so if the velocity is zero, so is the momentum.
Yes. If the sum of the forces is zero, then the object will not accelerate - meaning it will maintain its speed.
A simple example is a ball tossed into the air. When the ball reaches its apex -- its highest point -- its instantaneous velocity is zero. If we assume that up is the positive direction, the ball's velocity is positive when it is initially tossed into the air, but it slows immediately. That is, its velocity becomes less positive until it reaches zero velocity. After that point, the velocity becomes increasingly negative (because down is the negative direction). Until the ball returns to earth and reaches the height at which it was initially thrown, its average velocity is non-zero. If the ball is allowed to hit the ground, its average velocity will be slightly negative, which is still non-zero. But it still had an instant -- at its apex -- when its velocity was zero.
An object can only accelerate if its velocity changes.
If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).If the forces are balanced (in other words, the net force on an object is zero), then the object will not accelerate (its velocity will not change).
Accelerate. Using Newton's second law, Net Force = mass * acceleration rearranged the equation acceleration = Net Force/mass so when the force is non zero and the mass is non zero, the object will accelerate. Note: This does not mean that the object is always at rest when the force is zero, it simply means the velocity is constant (when velocity =0, the object is at rest).
If there is zero net force on an object, the object will not accelerate. (It's velocity will not change.)
Velocity. When an object is standing still at position p, the velocity dp/dt = 0 is zero.
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. When an object is motionless, its constant velocity is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
Velocity
A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.

No, momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so if the velocity is zero, so is the momentum.
That means that the sum of all the forces on an object, that is to say the vector sum, results in a force that is not zero. The forces are not balanced. In this case, the object will accelerate (its velocity will change).
