If the velocity of an object is zero, can the object’s acceleration be nonzero?

a) Yes, if the velocity is zero and remains zero.

b) Yes. For example, an object just starts moving from a stop.

c) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If velocity is zero, acceleration must be zero as well.

d) No. If the velocity is zero, an object cannot be moving. Therefore, its acceleration must be zero.

e) The answer depends on whether the force of gravity is present or not.
