An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion . If velocity and acceleration have opposite signs, you slow down. Negative velocity = You move backwards. Negative acceleration - You slow down or you go faster in the backwards direction
Entropy is typically defined as either the level of randomness (or disorder) of a system or a measure of the energy dispersal of the molecules in the system.
