Given information

As per the given information in the question: 

To Determine: Can the velocity of an object be negative when its acceleration is positive or vice versa? 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
  • Yes, when an object's acceleration is positive, its velocity might be negative, and vice versa. When a moving object slows down, this circumstance occurs.
  • For example, When a moving item, such as an automobile, applies brakes, the car's velocity decreases while it continues to go ahead due to its acceleration, which remains positive.
