In most cases, physics deals with finite quantities rather than zero, but zero does come up at times. The start of an event can be measured as zero hour. A superconductor has zero electrical resistance. There are doubtlessly other cases as well. Zero is a useful concept.

Can instantaneous speed be negative?

Velocity refers to the rate of change in distance of an object, and also the direction of the change, where speed just refers to the rate of change without regard to the direction, so if the object moved at all, it would have an average speed greater than zero, so No.

What is the difference between absolute zero and relative zero?

The term "absolute zero" is used for the minimal possible temperature (-273 K). The term "relative zero" is not a term I know, but it could refer to the difference between two velocities, which are equal. In Physics, independent observers do not observe a velocity of the other if they are moving at the same speed (relative zero). <Feb 18, 2014 - Bruno>
