Can centripetal acceleration be nonzero when tangential acceleration is zero?

Hi, I basically just have a concept question, if the tangential acceleration of an object is zero, can at the same time its centripetal acceleration be nonzero?

short answer: yes

if you want a longer answer as to why just reply.
