Acceleration in associate object might be zero even once many forces are working on it. This happens once all the forces get rid of one another or in Simple language the forces cancel out each other i.e., the online force working on the thing is zero. For a uniformly moving object, the online force working on the thing is zero. Hence, the acceleration of the thing is zero.
