Question

the direction in which an object moves is given by the direction of velocity and not by the direction of acceleration

Answer 1

because if we suppose a body moving in +ve x axis and acceleration acting on it is in -x axis then for some time period the velocity vector will be in +ve x axis so direction of motion for that time will be in the direction of velocity vector hence for direcyion of motion of abody direction of velocity is taken in consideration

Answer 2

$\huge\mathtt\purple{Answer:-}$

$\implies\sf$because if we suppose a body moving in +ve x axis and acceleration acting on it is in -x axis then for some time period the velocity vector will be in +ve x axis so direction of motion for that time will be in the direction of velocity vector hence for direcyion of motion of abody direction of velocity is taken in consideration
