Answer #1

If you throw a ball upwards then at its highest point in flight it will come at stand still. At this point, for a while, the ball is at rest with zero velocity but it's acceleration is still non zero I.e 9.8m/s2

Apart from that even when you hold the ball in your hand, it's at rest with zero velocity but acceleration due to gravity is still non zero.
