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 else can I help you with?
What has to happen to a car's acceleration and velocity for a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration?
For a car's speed to increase and have a positive acceleration, the car's velocity needs to be increasing in the same direction as its acceleration. This means that the car is speeding up. When the velocity and acceleration have the same sign (both positive or both negative), the car's speed will increase.
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
If a car is slowing down can its acceleration be positive?
No, if a car is slowing down, its acceleration is negative. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so if the car's velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is in the opposite 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.

Does driving backwards add mileage to a car?
No, driving backwards does not add mileage to a car. Mileage is calculated based on the distance traveled in the forward direction. Driving backwards does not affect the odometer reading or the overall mileage of the vehicle.
Does driving a car backwards affect the mileage in reverse?
No, driving a car backwards does not affect the mileage in reverse. The odometer measures the distance the car has traveled regardless of the direction it is moving.

How does positive and negative acceleration affect motion?
positive acceleration helps to increase the velocity for positive direction while negative acceleration resists the motion.
What are some projects that use acceleration?
driving a car into a wall
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 negative and its acceleration is positive what is happening to the car's motion?
The car is slowing down
What is the velocity of a car traveling backwards?
The velocity of a car traveling backwards would be negative, as it is moving in the opposite direction of its positive reference point.
What does it mean when driving up a hill and the acceleration is low?
the car is weak
What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero?
The acceleration of the car is equal to the rate of change of its speed over time. When a car goes from zero speed to a higher speed, it experiences positive acceleration in the direction of its motion.
