If an object has zero acceleration, does that mean that its velocity is zero? Give an example.

Answer:

Yes, an object that was set in motion in the past by some force, but that is no longer being acted on by a net force, is moving but with zero acceleration, i.e. it is moving at constant velocity. For example, a puck sliding along a horizontal plane of ice after being hit with a hockey stick.
