There is a dipole moment on acetic acid. The O-H bond in acetic acid is highly polar, as is the double C=O bond. The arrangement is not symmetrical, so the dipoles do not cancel one another out.

Acetylene is a linear molecule and has no dipole moment. It would have a quadrupole moment, but a fairly weak one as the carbon-hydrogen bond is not especially polar.
