The velocity of a particle is towards west at an instant. Its acceleration is not towards west, not towards east, not towards north and not towards south. Give an example of this type of motion.

Consider a case when a particle is thrown towards west at an angle with horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory its instantaneous velocity is towards west but the acceleration is not towards west, not towards east, not towards north and not towards south. In fact its acceleration is vertically downwards due to gravity.
