Definitely not! Kinetic energy is always a non-negative value because it's calculated using the square of velocity. Negative velocity? Sure, but kinetic energy? Never!
As an engineer, I can tell you that kinetic energy is always positive. It's like asking if you can have negative pizza slices—just doesn't happen!
