1while true do
2script.Parent.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 30)
3wait(0.4)
4script.Parent.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, -30)
5wait(0.4)
6end

i have a part that goes back and forth with this bodyvelocity script and eventually the part starts inclining towards left movement and starts moving away.

Wait Variety

Wait has slight variation (usually by less than .1 but sometimes even greater than .1) that can severely augment motion relative to the power. Here's a benchmark to portray my point:

1> for i = 0, 5 do print(wait(.4)) end

Physics

A BodyVelocity does not instantly negate a part's velocity. It constantly adds that velocity per the power & dampening factor of a bodyvelocity, so it will take time for the velocity to zero out and then move in the correct direction. If anything, the part should be slowing down before it moves in the other direction.
