The correct option is A True

Acceleration:

  • It is a rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
  • It is a vector quantity.

Velocity:

  • It is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to a frame of reference and time.
  • It is a vector quantity.
  • It is possible that the acceleration of a particle is non-zero and velocity is zero at the same instant.
  • For example, if a ball is thrown up then at the highest point, velocity is zero but the acceleration is non-zero.

Thus, the given statement is true.
