Answer: Yes. Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Yes. Since velocity is a vector quantity, that is, it has both magnitude and direction.

If the displacements covered are not of the same direction, the velocity will not also of the same direction.

Take for instance, if the velocity in a positive is 40 m/s and velocity in the opposite direction is - 20 m/s . Then, the resultant velocity will be 40 - 20 = 20 m/s

Therefore,  it is possible that at any time during their trip their velocity was -20 m/s.

Everything with 1 symbol = Element
Everything with multiple symbols = Compound

Elements are the smallest particles (if we go further things start to get weird). Compounds are ALWAYS made up from elements.
