Problem

A car is moving westward while slowing down under a uniform acceleration directed eastward. If east is taken as the positive direction, which set correctly gives the signs of the car’s velocity vv and acceleration aa during this interval? (a) v>0,  a<0v>0,\; a<0 (b) v<0,  a>0v<0,\; a>0 (c) v<0,  a<0v<0,\; a<0 (d) v>0,  a>0v>0,\; a>0
