Sure. Anything that's slowing down has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions.
-- A ball tossed up in the air has upward velocity and downward acceleration.
-- A car stopping for a red light has forward velocity and backward acceleration.

If the object is moving in a positive direktion along its x-axis and the acceleration is in the opposite direction (negative acceleration, i.e. retardation), then yes. Lets say the acceleration is -2 m/s^2 and its increasing with a magnitude of 2 then the new acceleration would be -4 m/s^2. Sure, the object was already slowing down but now its slowing down even more.
The minimum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is zero. That's what happens when the two vectors have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.The maximum possible magnitude that results from the combintion of two vectors is the sum of the two individual magnitudes. That's what happens when the two vectors have the same direction.
Yes, it is possible for flux to have a negative value. This occurs when the magnetic field and the area vector are in opposite directions, leading to a negative flux value.
Yes, electric flux can have a negative value if the electric field and the area vector have opposite directions.

Yes, it is possible for a body's velocity and acceleration to be in opposite directions. This would result in the body's velocity decreasing over time while its acceleration remains negative. On a velocity-time graph, this situation would be represented by a curve that starts with a positive velocity and decreases over time.

earthquakes occurring as the plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Yes, it is possible for the net force acting on an object to be negative. This means that the forces acting on the object are in opposite directions, resulting in a net force that is negative.
Sure. If there is any positive acceleration (in the direction of motion) then the speed is increasing. It doesn't matter whether the acceleration is increasing, decreasing, or staying constant. As long as acceleration (in the direction of motion) remains positive, the thing keeps speeding up.
Yes, it is possible to experience centripetal acceleration without tangential acceleration. Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, while tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of motion. In cases where an object is moving in a circular path at a constant speed, there is centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration.
