The following questions apply to the motion diagrams below. The positive direction is to the right of the page. A t = 0s t = 6s B t = 0s t = 6s C t = 0s t = 6s D t = 6s t = 0s E t = 6s t = 0s Which of the dot diagrams above represents the motion of an object that has a negative velocity and a negative acceleration? A B C D E

Step 1
Velocity is the rate of change of position of an object, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Negative velocity means the object is moving to the left (opposite to the positive direction), and negative acceleration means the object is slowing down Show more…

For this question, let the right direction be positive (+) and the left direction be negative ( - ). If a car moves to the left while speeding up, which of the statements below correctly describe the signs of velocity and acceleration? Velocity is negative, and acceleration is positive. Velocity is positive, and acceleration is negative. Velocity and acceleration are both negative. Velocity and acceleration are both positive.
