In physics, when the computing power is large, positive and negative also indicate two opposite directions
In fact, many of them are too lazy to list one by one
Why negative numbers are introduced? Give examples to illustrate the functions of positive and negative numbers in expressing opposite quantities

For example, 20 ° C above zero can be expressed as + 20 ° C, and 20 ° below zero can be expressed as - 20 ° C
