Yes, velocity can be 0 while speed is not 0. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, so if an object is moving in a straight line and comes to a stop, its velocity is 0 but its speed is not 0. Speed, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity that only considers the magnitude of the motion, regardless of direction.

ViviSpeed and Velocity are two words that mean the same.
You may mean, "Can Velocity be 0 but acceleration not 0".
Yes, this occurs when a moving object is changing direction (say from moving forwards to moving backwards) or is just about to move or, at that very instant has just come to a halt.
In all these cases, speed /velocity is zero but the body is accelerating.
Don't forget, the word acceleration is also used when an object is decelerating (slowing down).

Does 0 acceleration means 0 velocity?
Not at all. Zero acceleration just means that the velocity is not changing ...the motion is in a straight line at a consgtant speed.
When average velocity and average speed is equal?
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
What is the speed and velocity triangle formula?
Velocity = Speed / Time So, in the context of a triangle, speed would be at the top.
A truck is traveling east on a highway at 80 km h What is velocity?
Velocity is speed and direction. Truck speed is 80 km/hr. Truck velocity is 80 km/hr going east. Its velocity is also -80 km/h going west, and 0 km/h going north or south.
Why is the absolute value of speed equal to velocity?
It's not. Unless you add a direction to speed it will not become velocity. Since positive and negative are sometimes used to denote direction, absolute value of velocity may equal speed (certain situations)
