(a) The above given situation is possible. For example, when a ball is thrown up at maximum height, it has zero velocity, although it will have constant acceleration due to gravity, which is equal to 9.8 m/s �.

(b) The above given situation can be seen in the following example:

When a car is moving in a circular track, its acceleration is perpendicular to its direction.
