The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.
