An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. ... Objects resist changes in their velocity.
Even though it stopped, i.e the velocity is zero, the acceleration would be the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s. Acceleration can only be calculated over a period of time. This means, even if the motion of the body changes after infinitesimally small period of time, the object will have an acceleration.
