Short answer: No.

Accelerometers measure acceleration, not velocity. So it might be
possible to monitor the acceleration, use that to infer the velocity,
and then measure the time until the corresponding negative
acceleration, but this is very error-prone (due to the fact that
you're doing numerical integration over discrete samples, and the
sensors are fairly noisy).
