Answer:
Object moving in a certain direction with an acceleration in perpendicular direction is possible; in case of circular motion. ... We know, that a tangent always makes a right angle with the radius; so when an object is in circular motion, the acceleration and velocity are in mutually perpendicular direction.

Explanation:
- An object with a constant acceleration but zero velocity is not possible, because according to the definition of acceleration, acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. If an object is at zero velocity it does mean that it is at rest. So there is no change in velocity, hence no acceleration.
