This depends on how you define your axes. Let's assume they're defined as normal (being positive is accelerating, negative is breaking, and for velocity positive is driving forward, negative is driving in reverse). Then of course, you are speeding up. This simply means the train was in reverse, but it's accelerating in the positive direction now.

An object that is accelerating may be?
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.
How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?
In physics, "acceleration" means there is a change of velocity.
An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?
yes the acceleration can take a negative value. for example an object with an accleration of -2 ms-2 would be slowing down. However this is normally called deceleration.
The term deceleration means?
slowing down.
What is slowing down motion?
its when something is slowing down

Is a car accelerating when it is coming to a stop at a light?
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
How can a car slowing down also be accelerating?
In physics, "acceleration" means there is a change of velocity.
When is the car decelerating?
It is decelerating any time it is not accelerating or is stopped. Decelerating means slowing down.
What is the vibrating sound when accelerating and slowing down in a car?
Could be bad u-joints in the driveshaft.
What song sounds like a train speeding up and then slowing down?
You may be referring to Train Train by Blackfoot.
Why car still accelerates after slowing down?
Acceleration is a change in velocity. Assuming a constant direction, if you're speeding up that is positive acceleration. If you are slowing down, that's negative acceleration. Either way you are accelerating.
When accelerating to 25 mph there is a pulsation in car and same slowing down but not at high speed?
One tire has a belt separation.
Does a negative acceleration necessarily imply that a body is slowing down?
No. Negative acceleration simply means it is accelerating in a particular direction.
An object that is accelerating maybe slowing down or speeding up?
yes the acceleration can take a negative value. for example an object with an accleration of -2 ms-2 would be slowing down. However this is normally called deceleration.
Is a car still accelerating if it's slowing down?
Yes it has negative acceleration, which is acceleration in the opposite direction of travel. It is called deceleration.
When accelerating or slowing down sounds like whining?
Could be a turbocharger, or a low oil level in a manual transmission causing it to "howl".
