Question

question 1 1 pts an object has a velocity of -5 m/s and an acceleration equal to -7 m/s². is the object speeding up or slowing down? slowing down speeding up

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze signs of velocity and acceleration

The velocity $v=- 5\ m/s$ and acceleration $a = - 7\ m/s^{2}$. Both velocity and acceleration have the same sign (negative).

Step2: Determine motion state

When velocity and acceleration have the same sign, the object is speeding up. When they have opposite signs, the object is slowing down.

Answer:

Speeding up
