The moving object is slowing down.
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.

This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
Yes, velocity and acceleration can point in the opposite direction to each other. This is because neither one depends on the other. When velocity and acceleration are opposite each other this results in slowing down, for example when you hit the break on your car.
When an object has velocity and acceleration in opposite directions, it means the object is slowing down. The acceleration is acting against the velocity, causing the object to decelerate. This situation can occur when an external force is applied in the opposite direction of the object's motion.

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.

If the velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions, the object will initially slow down. This occurs when the acceleration is in the direction opposite to the object's motion, creating a deceleration effect.
Of course. A car with brakes applied and slowing down has forward velocity and rearward acceleration.
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
Yes it can, and it's really easy. -- A stone tossed upward, before it peaks and starts falling, has upward velocity and downward acceleration. -- A car driving east and slowing for a stop-sign has eastward velocity and westward acceleration.
This is a moving object that is slowing down.
If the velocity is decreasing, then the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity. This means the acceleration is negative, indicating deceleration.
