Velocity & Acceleration

- If an object is moving with a POSITIVE (sign) for velocity, the (sign of) acceleration will be the way in which the object is behaving

- If an object is moving with a NEGATIVE (sign) for velocity, the (sign of) acceleration will be OPPOSITE to the way in which you'd think the acceleration would be

********If you can't remember this rule of thumb, APPLY THE MATH NUMBERS of change in V over change in T...remember that THIS IS NOT DISPLACEMENT!!!
