If displacement is negative, is velocity negative too?

velocity too will be negative

Explanation:

If displacement is negative, is velocity negative too?

Velocity is the rate of the displacement of an object with time

velocity = displacement / time

Since there is no negative timing in all cases, so in every case where the displacement is negative, then displacement will velocity will also be negative

For example, If the displacement of an object is - 30m and the time 6 seconds

Then velocity = displacement / time

= - 30/6

= - 5 m/s

An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
