Answer:

Yes they can have the same acceleration,

Step-by-step explanation:

Think an object moving with velocity
50 m/s, and another object with velocity
10m/s. After
5s, the speed of first object is
v1=50+5a , and second object has speed
v2=10+5a.

And also acceleration is independent of speed, it is an increase in speed per second, so it can be same for rapidly moving as well as slowly moving.

We can think about gravitation acceleration it has same value for every object independent of speed, suppose two objects are at a height h, one of the object is dropped and another object is thrown downward with velocity v,so the gravitation acceleration will same for both independent of speed.
