Re: speed and velocity



Positive and negative components of accelerations give my students
more trouble than problems related to signs of velocity components.
A v component is positive if an object moves along the axis and
negative otherwise. But for accelerations it is "sometimes one way
and sometimes another", even in one dimension.
