Does downward movement of an object have a negative or positive velocity?

• Negative

• Positive

When an object starts from rest, what is its original velocity?

• Depends on the problem

• 0

• Always positive

• Always negative

Do free falling objects move at constant velocity or do they accelerate?

• Falling objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s²
• Falling object move at constant velocity
• Falling objects accelerate at 100 m/s²
• It depends on the mass: heavy objects accelerate, light objects do not
