Answer:
One situation could be when someone is sitting in a car that is travelling at a constant speed of 150mph

Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s review the terms:
Velocity: the speed of something in a given direction
Acceleration: increase in the rate or speed of something

The car is travelling at a high speed but the speed is constant, so it isn’t increasing. In other words, the car the person is sitting in is travelling in in a high velocity but with no/low acceleration.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
