Yes, torque can have a negative value in physics. Torque is vector energy. Torque is the vector analogue of Work involving force (F) and displacement (D) vectors and the angle (FD). For example Work W = -F.D= -|FD|cos(FD) and Toque T = FxD =|FD|sin(FD). Torque can be negative dependent on the sine(FD). Work and torque is an example of the quaternion nature of physics; for example Quaternion energy E = FD = -F.D + FxD, the real energy is called work F.D and the vector energy is called torque, FxD.
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
No, a negative plus a negative is a negative
A negative plus a negative equals a negative.
A negative plus a negative still gives a negative answer.
