True

Step-by-step explanation

the velocity is define as the change of position in a given time


v=(\Delta position)/(\Delta time)

and the acceleration is the change of velocity in a given time


a=\text{ }(\Delta velocity)/(\Delta time)

so, it the velocity is zero, it means


\begin{gathered} a=\text{ }(\Delta velocity)/(\Delta time) \\ a=(changeinvelocity)/(time) \\ a=(0)/(time) \\ a=0 \end{gathered}

therefore, as the velocity is zero, the object is at rest, so the net force acting on it is zero

hence,the acceleration is zero

so

True

I hope this helps you
