Sure. Anything you toss with your hand has constant acceleration after you
toss it ... the acceleration of gravity, directed downward.
If you toss it upward, it starts out with upward velocity, which reverses and
eventually becomes downward velocity.
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
The definition of acceleration is: Any change of velocity, that is, speed or direction of motion. If an object is undergoing constant acceleration, then the definition says that its velocity must be changing.
Yes. "Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means any change in speedor direction of motion. If the body is moving on a curve, even at a constant speed,its direction is changing, so there is acceleration.
Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.
This scenario is possible if the car is moving in a circular path at constant speed. In circular motion, even though the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity is constantly changing, which requires a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle. This acceleration is provided by a net force, known as the centripetal force, acting towards the center of the circular path.
Yes. Acceleration by definition is a change in speed, direction, or both. If the speed is constant, the direction could still be changing. You can feel a change in direction, therefore you can feel acceleration even if the speed is constant.
Yes, it can happen. when the velocity is momentarily zero while an object is changing from moving in the positive direction motion to the negative direction; the object obviously will stop at one point, but will still have a constant acceleration.

Yes - for a while. Or indefinitely, if you will accept zero acceleration as "constant acceleration".
Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.

Yes, it is possible for a body to have zero velocity but still have acceleration. This occurs when the body is changing its direction of motion, even though its speed remains constant. The acceleration in this case is due to the change in direction, not speed.
Acceleration refers to any change in an object's velocity, which includes changes in speed or direction. It is possible to have a constant speed while still accelerating if the direction of motion changes, for example, when moving in a circle at a constant speed. So, while the speed remains the same, the change in direction constitutes acceleration.
Yes, it is possible to experience centripetal acceleration without tangential acceleration. Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, while tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of motion. In cases where an object is moving in a circular path at a constant speed, there is centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration.
