Answer:

positive- downward

negative- upward

Step-by-step explanation:

A vector is a quantity described by a magnitude and a direction.

The algebraic sign, positive (+) and negative (-) are used to designate the distance and velocity vectors for an object in free fall where positive represents downward and negative represents an upward movement of the object.

Hence, the correct answer is "positive- downward and negative- upward".
