Question

What MUST be true about an object's acceleration as it is traveling in the positive direction and slowing down?

a. the object has no acceleration
b. it negative acceleration is constant
c. its acceleration is the same as its velocity
d. the object is accelerating in the negative direction

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration is a vector quantity. A positive acceleration means that the velocity is increasing while a negative acceleration means the velocity is reducing. since it is slowing down, the velocity is reducing and the acceleration is negative.
