Can an object have a positive position, but a negative velocity? Explain your reasoning.

Yes

Explanation:

A position describes the position of an object relative to the x/y-axis (or the four cardinal directions). A velocity is a vector quantity, defining speed with direction.

So if an object is in a positive position, it means they are in the positive x-axis direction (or wherever on the scale the positive values are stated to be) and if it has a negative velocity, it means said object is moving in the opposite direction of the positive x-axis. It is possible for the object to still be in the positive position as it's moving with a negative velocity

explanation: in any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called brownian motion). as a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance).
