A (non digital) speedometer is a damped needle moved by a rotating magnet driven by cable from either the gearbox or one of the wheels.
there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity
The terminal velocity of a falling object is the constant speed where the force of gravity is equal to the force of drag. Then the forces cancel each other out. Essentially, terminal velocity is when the speed of a falling object is no longer changing. It isn't accelerating or slowing. It's constant.
If the sum of all forces on an object is zero, then the object remains in constant, uniform motion. 'Constant uniform motion' means motion in a straight line at a constant speed. The physical description of such motion is "constant velocity". "Rest" is just constant velocity with a speed of zero. If the sum of all forces on an object is NOT zero, then the object's velocity must change. The change may consist of speeding up, slowing down, or turning in a different direction.
No, in order for the velocity to be constant, the speed has to be constant. Speed is a scalar, meaning that it is just a number. (A car goes 50 miles per hour). Velocity is a vector, which indicates that it needs a measure of its displacement and a direction. (A car is going 50 mph to the east). A body can have a constant speed but a changing velocity because the direction can change while the speed is constant. (A car goes 50 mph around a roundabout). However, a body can not have a constant velocity with a changing speed. A car can not be slowing down yet still be going the same speed and direction.

It means moving at a constant speed ... not speeding up or slowing down ... and in a straight line.
When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.
Acceleration means speeding up or slowing down, a change in velocity. Since the velocity was constant, the acceleration was. 0
Yes. Velocity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. If speed is constant but the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing. An example is a car turning a corner without slowing down.
