Would -20m/s or 3m/s be the maximum velocity?

 

[InteGrand]

Hard to say if we don't know the question.

 

[TheShepard256]

The maximum velocity would be 3m/s, as 3 > -20. If it was the maximum speed you were looking for, it would be -20m/s, as |3| < |-20|.

Would -20m/s or 3m/s be the maximum velocity?

Wouldn't it be -20m/s ? That's faster, just going in a negative direction (or not, sorry I don't do physics).

The maximum velocity would be 3m/s, as 3 > -20. If it was the maximum speed you were looking for, it would be -20m/s, as |3| < |-20|.

This is the way to go about the question for HSC purposes.

Wouldn't it be -20m/s ? That's faster, just going in a negative direction (or not, sorry I don't do physics).

That would be maximum speed, not velocity.
