This means an object is at rest, at least relative to a certain frame of reference. For example, the object may be laying, not rolling, on the ground, and will remain at zero velocity until another force acts on it, or may be an object that was thrown straight up and is being slowed down and pulled back down by gravity, which will reach a velocity of 0 instantaneously and then begin to fall back down. This always happens at the object's maximum height.

Is the net force acting on a body is zero will the velocity be zero?
No, The velocity CHANGE will be zero
What is the velocity if acceleration is zero?
velocity may be zero or may not be zero i.e. if the object may continue to move with uniform velocity.
How is velocity of zero different from an accerlation at zero?
Acceleration is changing velocity. Zero velocity means no motion. Zero acceleration means constant, unchanging motion.
Zero acceleration will the velocity be constant?
Whenever velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. This also works when the velocity is zero, the acceleration is zero. That pretty much means the object isn't moving. But, yes/ If velocity is constant, accleration is zero.
Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?
Yes, you can. Zero acceleration simply means there is no CHANGE in velocity. It doesn't mean there is no velocity.
Can constant velocity be zero?
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.
What is another word for zero velocity?
Zero velocity = No acceleration

Can an object accelerate and have zero velocity?
I'm not a scientist, but the following seems reasonable to me. If your frame of reference is the earth's surface, then it seems clear that an object can have zero velocity and zero acceleration. You could even have non-zero velocity and zero acceleration. What seems impossible is to have zero velocity and non-zero acceleration. When you think of accelaration think of changing velocity. A car moving straight down the highway at a constant speed of 55 mph is neither speeding up nor slowing down. Though it has velocity, there is no change in its velocity so acceleration will be zero. For a car parked on the side of the road, on the other hand, its velocity will be zero but what about its acceleration? Is velocity changing? No, so it will have zero velocity and zero acceleration.Yes.
Can you have a zero acceleration but non zero velocity explain it with help of a graph?
Yes, you can. Zero acceleration simply means there is no CHANGE in velocity. It doesn't mean there is no velocity.
Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity?
Zero relative velocity to another object, sure no problem. Zero absolute velocity, not possible as there is no absolute reference to compare to.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
How the velocity uniform?
"Uniform velocity" means zero acceleration, that is, constant speed in a straight line.rate of change of velocity is zero
