Answer:
Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration
Explanation:
Accelerated Motion
Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.
The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.
Thus the velocity is positive.
Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration
