Can you site an example for velocity being zero and acceleration nonzero?

Essentially NO. We can only perceive motion and acceleration, when they change, but all we really see is apparent motion and apparent acceleration, for they are observed with respect to the remainder of the Universe.
Without complete information on that state, we cannot be certain the observed item has no change of state.
In the specific state of a body rotating around another such; as a geostationary satellite; then the velocity appears zero (relative to our position), but as measured on the satellite, it will be subject to a constant non-zero acceleration. Due to the centripetal force.
[And indeed, the Earth is subject to the same centripetal force - but so tiny compared to Earth gravity as to be not detectable. ]

Can an object have a speed of 0 while it has an acceleration that is not 0?
Yes. Acceleration is independent of speed. A perfect example of an object with zero speed but nonzero acceleration is an object at the apex of being thrown upward. The entire time it is in the air it is accelerating downward. At its maximum height its speed is zero.
How are motion and acceleration different?
In Simple motion, there is no force being applied. The moving object moves in a straight line with constant velocity. In acceleration, there is a force applied. The object's velocity is changing. The first derivative of acceleration is velocity. The first derivative of velocity is distance. (Derivative is a calculus thing.)
What is the objects acceleration from 0 to 1 second?
Acceleration is the change in velocity over a time period. Since you need to know the change in velocity to calculate acceleration, the question being asked is not answerable.
Problems about positive acceleration?
Positive acceleration is an increase in velocity in the direction in which motion is being measured.
When does an acceleration becomes zero?
Acceleration being zero is equivalent to the statement that an object's velocity doesn't change.
What is the centripetal acceleration of an object being swung on a string with a radius of 3 meters at a velocity of 4 meters per second?
Use the formula for centripetal acceleration: velocity squared / radius.
Determine whether you are accelerating as earth rotates once every 24 hours?
Yes. Since the direction of the movement changes, that means there is an acceleration. Remember, acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity includes both a magnitude and a direction.Yes. Since the direction of the movement changes, that means there is an acceleration. Remember, acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity includes both a magnitude and a direction.Yes.

What physical quantities are being studied in kinematics?
Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity, Acceleration.
What is the acceleration of an object if velocity remains constant?
velocity is the first derivative of motion, with acceleration being the second; if an object has a constant velocity, then it's acceleration is 0. This is easy to see from everyday life, when you are in a car, you only feel it jerk when you are accelerating but once you've reached your speed you feel nothing.
What does the slope of a velocity vs time graph show you?
The rate of acceleration is a measure of the change of the velocity of an object with time. On a graph of velocity versus time, it is represented by the slope of the line so graphed. If velocity is changing in time, the object described is being accelerated. The greater the slope of the graph, the greater the change of velocity per unit of time and the greater the acceleration of that object. true
Velocity changes when?
Velocity of any body changes due to external force being put in that body to make it stop or to make it move faster, for example the velocity of a car changes when you put on accelerator and it slows down when u put on brakes. therefore change in velocity is due to Acceleration and Retardation (Deceleration).
If an object is being accelerated can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
