Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

speed and velocity are the same thing, except that velocity includes a direction.

ex.

if two things are traveling at 3mi/h, then thats the same speed. but if one is going north and the other south, then those are two different velocities

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving the same speed and in the same direction. objects moving at different speeds, in different directions or both have different velocities
