Question

Problems 1 and 2 each refer to the figure on the right, which shows the velocity and acceleration vectors for an object at some instant in time.

1.) Which of the following statements most correctly describes the direction of the velocity of the object a short time later?

a.) The velocity vector will point more horizontally right

b.) The velocity vector will point in exactly the same direction

c.) The velocity vector will point more vertically down.

(I got B; is this correct?)

2.) Which of the following statements most correctly describes the speed of the object a short time later?

a.) The object will be traveling faster

b.) The object will be traveling at the same speed

c.) The object will be traveling slower

(I got A; is this correct?
