    yes if this acceleration is deceleration or retardation i.e. it moves with certain velocity then using the brakes to reduce this velocity mramahmedmram

  2. Katie Says:

    Yes it can. This means that the car is travelling north and is slowing down. (Assuming that both the velocity and acceleration are positive)

    A positive acceleration South is equivalent to the negative acceleration North. Katie
