* Negative Velocity: This means the object is moving in the negative direction (e.g., to the left if we consider right as positive).
* Positive Acceleration: This means the object's velocity is increasing in the positive direction.
Since the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity, the object is slowing down. Think of it like this:
* Imagine a car driving backwards (negative velocity). If you apply the gas pedal (positive acceleration), the car will start slowing down until it eventually stops and then begins moving forward.
Key Point: The object's velocity will eventually become positive as it continues to accelerate.
