It means that an object with a negative average velocity is moving in the opposite direction (of course according to the chosen positive direction of the predefined frame).
Average velocity equals the average speed if (and only if) the motion is in the same direction. If not, the average speed, being the average of the absolute value of the velocity, will be larger.
No. Velocity is a vector that describes both the direction in which an object is moving and its speed in that direction.
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
The speed of an object moving in a particular direction is called the velocity and it's a vector, that is, it has magnitude and direction. Speed is the scalar part of velocity.
If the average velocity is 5.2 m/sec. then it means that the moving object undergoes a displacement of 5.2m in a time interval of 1 sec. along a particular direction. If the average velocity is 5.2 km/hr. then it means that the moving object undergoes a displacement of 5.2km in a time interval of 1 hr. along a particular direction. Thus depending upon the unit used, the description will be different.

Yes it can.When a body moves in a circular path keeping its speed uniform then it will have variable vilocity as vilocity is the speed in a particular direction and while moving in a circular path its direction keeps changing and so does vilocity

The speed is the MAGNITUDE of the velocity, i.e., without regard to the direction.
As regards a moving object, we call the measure of the speed and direction it is moving its velocity.
