Can an object have an instantaneous velocity of zero and have a non-zero acceleration?

Yes. A typical example is an object thrown directly up - this will happen when it is at its highest point, just before it falls back down again.

Is the rate at which an object changes velocity?
No, velocity is the instantaneous speed of an object, the rate of change would be the acceleration of the object.
What's the difference between instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration?
Instantaneous velocity is the rate at which an object is moving in a uniform direction, distance per unit time, at any given instant in time. instantaneous acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity is changing at any given instant in time
If the instantaneous velocity of an object is constant then so is acceleration.?
the velocity increases at a constant rate
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
What is a instantaneous velocity?
Instantaneous velocity: The velocity of an object at one moment in time.
Can the average speed ever equal the instantaneous speed?
When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.
What is an object doing at the moment it's instantaneous acceleration is zero?
it can be moving at constant velocity or staying still
When is an object's average velocity equal to its instantaneous velocity?
If the velocity is constant (i.e., there is no acceleration). Terminal velocity is an example, although any constant velocity would fit this description.
Define speed at which an object is moving at a given instant time?
If the displacement of the object (its position) can be described as a functional or algebric equation, you can find the instant speed of this object by calculating the derivative of its displacement equation, knowing that speed is the first derivative of position and acceleration, its second.
What is acceleration at instantaneous maximum velocity?
In the case of an object thrown, batted, teed off, or dropped, its acceleration at the instant of its maximum velocity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.
Is average acceleration equal to instantaneous acceleration for a uniformly accelerated car?
Average acceleration will be equal to instantaneous acceleration when an object has an uniform acceleration throughout its motion. Example : A car accelerating at 1m/s2 uniformly in a straight line.
Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?
Yes, for example, a car moving at constant speed.
