Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
An object with zero velocity will mostly have zero acceleration but there are some cases where an object with zero velocity has a non-zero acceleration. For example, when a ball is thrown upwards, the velocity is zero at its highest point. But the ball still experiences a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 from the earth.
The correct statement is that an object with zero velocity can have zero as well as non-zero acceleration.
