Acceleration does not involve the direction a car goes in. The question is too vague to answer correctly.
A car has negative acceleration whenever it's slowing down. It doesn't matter what stage of its trip that occurs in.
Deaccelration.
Yes, the scalar value of acceleration can be a negative number. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the speed of an object is reducing (it is slowing down), then the object is subject to a negative acceleration. An example is when you apply the brakes in a car. The brakes change the speed of the car from a higher value to a lower value, thus imposing a negative acceleration. Colloquially, people speak of deceleration, however the correct term is negative acceleration.
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
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.

It cannot have negative velocity, it can have negative acceleration.
false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
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.

In general, slowing down is negative acceleration. Some might call it deceleration. Braking a car or bike is a simple example of negative acceleration.
