No, it is not possible for an object to have both zero velocity and a non-zero acceleration value at the same time during uniform motion or constant speed motion.

In uniform motion or constant speed motion, the object's velocity remains constant over time. This means that the object is not changing its speed or direction. If the velocity is zero, it means the object is at rest and not moving. In this case, the acceleration must also be zero since there is no change in velocity.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is constant, it implies that there is no change in velocity, and therefore the acceleration is zero. If the acceleration is non-zero, it means there is a change in velocity, indicating that the object is not moving at a constant speed.

So, in uniform motion or constant speed motion, an object cannot have both zero velocity and a non-zero acceleration value simultaneously.
