Speed 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.
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.
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.
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)
What is the speed if velocity is 0?
The speed is also 0.
Is it possible that a body has zero speed and nonzero velocity?
No because velocity defined as speed in a given direction so if speed is 0 then velocity must also be 0
An object has 0 vilocity but it cant have 0 average speed justify?
The correct term is velocity, not velocity.There is no reason why an object cannot have 0 velocity and 0 average speed - relative to some fixed reference point. I assume that your school, for example, has 0 velocity and 0 average speed.
Why is the velocity 0 when your speed is constant?
It's not. If you speed is constant (but not zero), then your velocity won't be zero, either.You may be confusing this with the following: If your VELOCITY (not your speed) is constant, then your ACCELERATION is zero. Acceleration refers to how quickly velocity changes, so if velocity doesn't change at all, acceleration is zero.
When velocity is zero and acceleration is less than zero does the speed increase?
if acceleration is <0 and velocity =0 then you got the handbrake on
Is it possible in straight line motion particle have 0 speed and a non-zero velocity .explain?
Sounds like a trick question. The answer is no. Speed is a scalar with magnitude only and velocity is a vector with magnitude (speed) and direction. So If traveling with velocity in a straight line it has speed..
What is movement of a stationary object?
-- acceleration = 0 -- velocity (speed and direction) exactly equal to the observer's velocity
Is velocity an objects speed and direction of motion?
Velocity is an objects speed in a given direction e.g. a runner having run round a circular track of 400m in circumference has 0 velocity.
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.
What is the biggest difference between speed and velocity?
velocity is speed with direction; velocity is a vector and speed is a scalar
What is speed in a given direction is called?
Speed in a given direction is velocity.
Diffetiate speed and velocity?
Speed has no direction, velocity does.
