What is an equal and opposite force that does not produce an acceleration?

I think you are talking about reaction force. An example is an object, say a cup, on a table. The cup is attracted to the centre of the earth by gravity and would accelerate if the table was not there. The table is in the way and produces a force in reaction to the cup pressing down on it.

Equal and opposite forces that do not produce an acceleration?
A book setting on the table. The force of gravity is balanced by the equal and opposite force of the table holding the bookk. No acceleration of the book due to those forces.
Why is the earths acceleration not equal to and opposite the objects acceleration?
There is no reason it should be the same.Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.To change acceleration a force is required and the change of acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object on which the force is acting.
What force produces acceleration?
Any unbalanced force will cause an acceleration.
What happens when the applied force is equal to the kinetic friction?
Presumably, the forces are in opposite directions. In that case, the total force is zero, and there will be no acceleration.
Is acceleration due to gravity act on a body resting on a table zero?
no,but the table exerts an equal & opposite force so net force is zero.

A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.

What is acceleration when force acted on the object is equal from both sides?
The acceleration is zero, since the net force (or total force) is zero: the acceleration on one side cancels out the acceleration on the other. Imagine pushing your hands together. Equal and opposite forces cancel out, and your hands remain in the middle.
What force produces acceleration?
Any unbalanced force will cause an acceleration.
What kind of forces produce movement?
an equal force applied at a vector opposite the force in question.
What happens when the applied force is equal to the kinetic friction?
Presumably, the forces are in opposite directions. In that case, the total force is zero, and there will be no acceleration.
When the forces on an object produce a net force of zero the forces are?
equal and opposite
Is acceleration due to gravity act on a body resting on a table zero?
no,but the table exerts an equal & opposite force so net force is zero.
A horizontal force acts a body that is free to move can it produce an acceleration if the force is less then the weight of that body?
Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.
If a box has equal and opposite forces acting on it will the box accelerate?
No. To have an acceleration, you need a non-zero NET FORCE. That is, the sum of all objects acting on the box must not be equal to zero.
What is acceleration force?
In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass
