    It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

    Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0
