Answer:

Yes it is possible to have acceleration opposing direction of velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

1) when you brake the car , the velocity will decrease making the the acceleration to decrease ,it is called decelerating

2) if you imagine the effect of a resistive force or a frictional force than the acceleration is in opposite direction is possible.
