Velocity is both ____ and _____. 

• speed , direction 
• direction, mass
• volume, density 
• direction, magnitude 

What is happening between 3 seconds and 4 seconds?

• The object is moving in a negative direction.
• The object is returning to its starting position.
• The object is slowing to a stop.
• The object is changing direction.

What happens at 4 seconds?

• The object changes direction.
• The object is at the starting point.

What is happening between 4 and 5 seconds?

• The object is slowing down in a negative direction (away from origin).

• The object is slowing down in a positive direction (away from origin).

• The object is slowing down in a negative direction (back to origin).

• The object is speeding up in a negative direction (back to origin).
