Yes a body moving with some velocity in the direction of east have acceleration in the west because when the body will stop or exerts brakes so the body will move a little back and acceleration will be produced in the opposite direction which is west.
Speed is the magnitude of velocity (which has a direction as well).
No. Velocity consists of a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude of velocity is called "speed", and that's what the speedometer measures. But it displays no information concerning the direction in which the car is moving.
Velocity consists of a speed and a direction. If any of the two changes, the velocity changes.
speed cannot as it is just a magnitude, however as velocity relates both magnitude and direction, and direction can be negative, technically you can have a negative velocity.
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.

they are different words with the same meaning.
Not necessarily. Velocity is made up of speed and direction, so if they go in different directions, their velocity won't be the same.
Direction does not have to change when velocity is changed. You can move North at 10 m/s and change it to 8 m/s a second later. You would still be moving North. But since velocity is a vector, if direction changes, even though speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then velocity most certainly changed, since both magnitude and direction make up the vector.
In direct current the charge carries always flow in the same direction, while in alternating current they change direction repeatedly, meaning overall there is no net direction.
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..
Velocity is a vector. A vector has a magnitude and a direction. The scalar or magnitude portion of velocity is speed. Velocity is a constant only when both the speed and direction are not varying. Hence, when the speed is changing, the velocity cannot be a constant.
The force of gravity causes the falling object's velocity to grow in magnitude by 9.8 meters per second every second, while its direction remains constant.
