Is it possible that acceleration at an instant does not depends upon its velocity at that instant?
Acceleration never depends on the instantaneous velocity.
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.
A car leaving a STOP sign at a neighborhood intersection, and the Space Shuttle in the
process of a delicate orbital maneuver to link up with the International Space Station,
could very well have the same acceleration.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for a body with zero velocity to have non-zero acceleration?
Yes, but only for a single instant in time. When you throw a golf ball or a rock straight up, it has the constant downward acceleration of gravity from the moment it leaves your hand, but its velocity is certainly not constant. The velocity steadily decreases until the peak of the toss, and then it switches from upward to downward velocity. At the very peak, the velocity is zero for an instant.
When an object and acceleration is zero at some instant t in time its velocity is?
If an object's acceleration is zero at a specific instant in time, its velocity can either be zero or a constant non-zero value at that instant. This means that the object could be either at rest or moving with a constant velocity at that particular moment.
The measure of how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant is known as?
The rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration. This can come in different forms (linear / nonlinear acceleration, angular acceleration ect).
Can a situation exist in which an object has zero acceleration and nonzero velocity even for an instant?
No, if an object has zero acceleration, its velocity cannot be changing. If the velocity is nonzero, it must either be increasing or decreasing, which requires acceleration.
Is how fast velocity is changing at a specific instant?
The rate at which velocity is changing at a specific instant is called acceleration. It measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, either by speeding up (positive acceleration) or slowing down (negative acceleration). It is the second derivative of an object's position with respect to time.

Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
What hasa zero velocity yet a non-zero acceleration?
For example, an object thrown upwards, when it is at its highest point. This situation is only possible for an instant - if the acceleration is non-zero, the velocity changes, and can therefore not remain at zero.
The rate at which velocity is changing at a given instant is described by?
The rate at which velocity is changing at a given instant is described by acceleration, which is a vector quantity that represents the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant velocity).
An a body more with constant acceleration but with zero velocityif yeswhy?
No. Well, such a body can have zero velocity for a brief instant, but it won't stay at such a velocity, because "acceleration" implies that the velocity changes.
Can the velocity of an object be 0 at the same instant its acceleration isn't 0?
Yes it can.
What is acceleration at instantaneous maximum velocity?
In the case of an object thrown, batted, teed off, or dropped, its acceleration at the instant of its maximum velocity is 9.8 meters per second2 downward.
