Can an object have an eastward velocity while experiencing a westward accelerations?
The answer is yes and no.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed plus direction.
If an object is travelling eastward and slowing down in a straight line then its velocity is decreasing, it is still travelling eastward. However the force slowing the object is a westward force.
A reducing acceleration (slowing down) is most often called a deceleration or negative acceleration. So you have a negative eastward acceleration.

What is an example of a car traveling eastward and it acceleration be westward?
If a car is driving eastward with a constant velocity and then suddenly applies the brakes to decelerate, its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion, which would be westward. This is because acceleration is a vector quantity that can act in the direction opposite to the object's motion.
What is the antonym for eastwards?
Westward is the antonym for eastward.
A vehicle travels 2345m in 315 s toward the evening sun what is its velocity?
The velocity of the vehicle can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken, which gives 7.44 m/s. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction, so be sure to specify if the vehicle's motion is eastward or westward.
What range that divides Australia's rivers into those that flow eastward and those that flow westward?
The Great Dividing Range extends down Australia's eastern coastline and along the south east. This range divides the rivers into eastward and westward flowing rivers.
Under what condition a body whose velocity is directed towards east has an acceleration directed west?
If an external force is acting in the westward direction on the body that is greater than any eastward force or velocity the body has, then the body will experience an acceleration directed west even though its velocity is directed east.
If a car is traveling eastward can its acceleration be westward?
Yes. If you are traveling eastward but slowing down, your acceleration would be westward.
If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20 meters per second what is the net force acting on the car?
well as we know that velocity is a vector hence it has magnitude as well as direction. Let us assign sign conventions for direction of velocities in this example: Let eastward velocity be positive and westward be taken as negative. Initial Velocity:-20 Final Velocity:+5 CHange in velocity=Final velocity-Initial Valocity Change in Velocity=5-(-20)=25m/s So change in velocity will be 25m/s
The conditions created by the Dust Bowl led over two million people to move PRIMARILY in which direction A)eastward B)northward C)southward D)westward?
Correct answer is D. Westward
How does time change westward and eastward of Greenwich Meridian?
As you go west of Greenwich you go earlier and as you go east you go later.
Can an object have velocity and acceleration vectors that point in opposite directions?
Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.
What is the crest of rockies that divides north America's major river systems into those flowing eastward and those fowing westward?
continental divide
Will wind moving south from the equator curve eastward or westward because of the coriolis effect?
it will move westward because the Earth rotates east
