Of course. That's exactly what happens when you're driving toward the east

and you stop the car.

Can a body moving with certain velocity in the direction of east have aeleration in the direction of west explain how?

Yes a body moving with some velocity in the direction of east have acceleration in the west because when the body will stop or exerts brakes so the body will move a little back and acceleration will be produced in the opposite direction which is west.


Can a body moving with certain velocity in the direction of east have acceleration in the direction of west?

Yes, a body moving with a constant velocity in the east direction can still have acceleration in the west direction if an external force is applied in that direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the velocity is constant, a change in direction or magnitude of the velocity can still result in acceleration.


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.


Direction of an object's velocity changes uniformly frome east to north What is the direction of acceleration?

North-west. More specifically, as the object's velocity direction changes uniformly from east to north, the acceleration and force producing this acceleration are both constant and changing direction uniformly from north to west.


What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car who is traveling along east with a constant velocity?

acceleration is the change in velocity by change in time (often meters/second/second). so, if a car was travelling 10m/s and ten seconds later, it is travelling 20m/s in the same direction, the acceleration would be (20m/s-10m/s)/10s=1m/s/s. with a constant velocity the change in velocity is zero (x m/s - x m/s)/y s=0m/s/s and acceleration is also zero.

Is there a velocity to the eastern direction to an object which is having a acceleration to the west?

Yes, if it is already moving East but decelerating i.e. accelerating to the west. The other condition when there is velocity to the east while accelerating to the west is when it is moving at an angle to the East-West line.


Can an object have east ward velocity if it has west ward acceleration?

Sure. That's exactly what happens every time you're driving east and you put on the brakes.
