Can a car driving backwards have a positive acceleration?

Yes, it just depends on how you define which way is "positive". If you define the "backwards" direction to be the positive direction, acceleration will be positive when going "backwards". Note that if we define the axes like this, going "forwards" will give the car a negative acceleration.

What is the horsepower rating of an electric motor?

Horsepower is the Imperial unit of measurement for power. In North America, the horsepower is still used to define the rated output power of a motor, whereas the watt is used to define its corresponding input power. Because no device is 100% efficient, a motor's rated output power is always lower than its corresponding input power.Elsewhere in the world, horsepower is considered to be an obsolete unit of measurement and, so, the watt is used to define both the rated output power and the corresponding input power.
