Answer : No

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement. ... For example, 50 km/hr (31 mph) describes the speed at which a car is traveling along a road, while 50 km/hr west describes the velocity at which it is traveling.

Answer:

The direction of the velocity vector is simply the same as the direction that an object is moving. ... Note that speed has no direction (it is a scalar) and the velocity at any instant is simply the speed value with a direction.
