Is it possible of a body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite direction plot a velocity-time graph if yes?

Yes, it is possible. For example, if you through an object up, its velocity would initially be in the "up" direction, but its acceleration would be in the "down" direction.

Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.
What is true about all compasses?
They all have a hand pointing in a direction.
Does an object always move in the direction of the unbalanced force exerted on it by another object?
Not always, the unbalanced force only points in the direction of the acceleration so a body may be moving in the opposite direction. Example. A car moves with some speed to the right on a horizontal surface and lock the brakes, if the surface has friction, but the net force acting on it is equal to the frictional force pointing left and produces a Deceleration of carriage until stop, but while this happens continuously in motion to the right.
How do you use a dobsonian telescope?
it is an alt-adz telescope. So you spin it till it is pointing the right direction, then you tilt it till it is pointing at the right angle.
Why water does not fall If a bucket containing water is rotated in a vertical circle. Explain.?
Newton's thrid law states that for an action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, in an inertial reference frame. The bucket at the highest point experiences two types of acceleration. One is gravity pointing downwards. Another is centripetal acceleration, which deters it from moving either to the right or to the left. The centripetal acceleration also points downwards. The bucket, at zero vertical velocity, applies a force on the water, equal to the centripetal force yet inthe reverse direction. Therefore, the water in the bucket feel zero instantaneous force at zero instantaneous velocity. According to newton's first law, it shouldn't fall at that point.
What are Example of acceleration which is against direction of motion?
deceleration in a linear motion (braking during driving or an object thrown up while you are standing on on earth) --> the acceleration is pointing at an opposite direction than the motion. ============================
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions?
The moving object is slowing down.
What is back bearing?
A back bearing is a bearing taken pointing to the exact opposite direction to the direction in which someone is heading.

Is it possible for a body to have its velocity and acceleration pointing in opposite directions?
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.

What way is vertical?
Vertical is a relative term. It usually refers to a direction pointing in the opposite direction of Gravity. So if you are in outer space, then I guess there is no real "vertical" direction.
How do you get into the Forest Sanctuary in Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks?
You go to the lost woods type thing, and at first three trees go the direction of the branch pointing out. Then at the last tree, go the opposite direction of what way the branch is pointing.
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions the object is?
This would indicate negative acceleration, which would mean that the object in question is speeding up.
When A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?
Its acceleration points straight down at all times after it's released.
Is it possible for a falling object to have a positive acceleration?
If you define the positive direction as pointing down, then the falling object has positive acceleration.Its magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.
