At the top most point of the projectile there is only horizontal component of velocity and acceleration due to gravity is vertically downward, so velocity and acceleration are perpendicular so each other.

Dear student 
Yes, at the peak of the path, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other.
Good Luck
