Can an object have zero velocity at the same time that is has acceleration?

Yes. For example, if you through an object straight up, it will accelerate downwards all the time, at about 9.8 meters per second square. At its highest point, it will briefly have zero velocity.It is NOT possible to keep this up for more than a brief instant, since "acceleration" implies that the velocity changes all the time.

When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?
As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.
Is there an acceleration when an object traveling at constant velocity and why?
No. Acceleration is change of velocity / time. If there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.
When does an object's acceleration change?
Acceleration is change of velocity / time.
What is the difference between Velocity and Acceleration of an object?
Velocity is the rate of change of distance with time, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?
If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
When does a force change the velocity of an object?
If the object is in free-space, and any force applied over a period of time will change the velocity of an object. Force = mass * acceleration. Acceleration = velocity / time. Therefore, Force = mass * velocity/time.
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the acceleration of that object the initial velocity and the final velocity and time?
Vf = Vi + at Where Vf = final velocity Vi = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time
How do you calculate an objects acceleration?
Acceleration is an object's change in velocity divided by its change in time. So: acceleration=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(final time - initial time)
What is the formula in finding the acceleration of an object?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
Acceleration is the rate at which happens?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
Can an object be accelerating if it has constant velocity?
No. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
What is the meaning if acceleration?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.
