To come to rest, its velocity must change, therefore it will accelerate. Once it is at rest, if it remains at rest, it will no longer accelerate, i.e., its acceleration will be zero.
The acceleration at the top of the path will be the same as the acceleration at the moment the ball leaves the hand and all the way until the moment it hits the ground (or hand). Ignoring air resistance, the only force acting on the ball is gravity. so the acceleration is 'g' or approximately 9.81m/squared seconds in my part of the world. g depends on how close the ball is to the center of the earth.
The ball can be considered a closed system.
If its speed of fall is no longer changing, then its acceleration is zero. That tells you that the forces on it must be balanced, so the upward force of air resistance must be exactly equal to the downward force of gravity.
Force = mass x acceleration. Mass must be in kilograms and acceleration must be in meters per second squared.

To know this, one must know the speed of the firework (assuming constant) or if you prefer calculus, you must know it's rate of acceleration.

Yes, a object can still be accelerating when the speed is zero, a classic example of which is throwing a ball straight up in the air, at the top of its trajectory it has an instantaneous velocity of zero while it is still accelerating towards the ground.
Acceleration must be constant to use kinematic equations. Acceleration need not be constant if working with energy.
Under the influence of gravity, every thrown object begins to accelerate downward as soon as it leaves the hand. The point of the aim must be above the target in order to compensate for the distance of fall during the object's flight time.
Of course. Toss a stone straight up. -- From the moment it leaves your hand until the moment it hits the ground, it has constant acceleration ... the acceleration of gravity, around 10 meters per second2. The number isn't important, only the fact that the acceleration of the stone is not zero until it hits the ground. -- Velocity-wise: The stone starts out with some upward velocity, which steadily decreases until it's at the top of its arc, then the velocity becomes downward and increases until the stone hits the ground. -- At the very top of the arc, there is a point where the velocity changes from upward to downward. In order for that to happen, there must be an instant when the velocity is zero. -- But the acceleration is constant and not zero, even at that instant when the velocity is zero.
whenever an object is thrown in the air we must know the initial velocity with which the object has been thrown.
Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.
