Yes, it just depends on how you define which way is "positive". If you define the "backwards" direction to be the positive direction, acceleration will be positive when going "backwards". Note that if we define the axes like this, going "forwards" will give the car a negative acceleration.

What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?
The velocity has to increase in a positive direction. The increase in velocity in a positive direction is a positive acceleration.
Acceleration is against the direction of motion?
suppose when we apply brakes to a car in motion then the speed of the car decreases which means the acceleration is backwards but the car is still running in the forward direction
How does positive and negative acceleration affect motion?
positive acceleration helps to increase the velocity for positive direction while negative acceleration resists the motion.
When a car's velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down

What are some projects that use acceleration?
driving a car into a wall
When a car's velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
Can a car have negative velocity and positive acceleration at the same time if traveling on a highway?
Yes.If the car is backing up, but slowing down, then its velocity is in the negative direction, and its acceleration is in the positive direction.
When a car's velocity is positive and it's acceleration is negative what is happening to the car motion?
The car is slowing down
What does it mean when driving up a hill and the acceleration is low?
the car is weak
What is the negative acceleration?
Negative acceleration is the state of a body whose velocity in a specified direction is becoming smaller. If you apply the brakes while driving a car, the car (and you) will undergo negative acceleration in the direction in which the car was moving.
What is an example of positive velocity and positive acceleration?
A car in the middle of the intersection, 3 seconds after the light turned green.
Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up?
No. Negative acceleration means that you are decreasing in acceleration, like braking a car. Therefore, you can't be speeding up because speed and acceleration are connected. You can't travel at a faster speed if you are braking.
What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero?
the car could be traveling in a straight line and slowing down (negative acceleration), speeding up (positive acceleration) or maintaining constant speed (zero acceleration).
