T/F: If an object has a velocity of -3 m/s it must be slowing down.
False; -3 tells us the object is moving in the negative direction (left) we know nothing about whether it is speeding up or slowing down bc we do not know a

How do you decide which kinematic equation to use?
use the equation that does not include the variable for which you have no information
