Solution

The following statements are true:

  1. If an object is speeding up, then its acceleration has the same sign (positive or negative) as its velocity. This is because when an object is speeding up, its velocity and acceleration are in the same direction.

  2. If an object is slowing down, then the sign (positive or negative) of its acceleration is opposite to the sign of its velocity. This is because when an object is slowing down, its velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.

  3. If an object is speeding up, then its displacement has the same sign (positive or negative) as its velocity. This is because when an object is speeding up, it is moving in the direction of its velocity.

  4. If an object is slowing down, then its displacement has the same sign (positive or negative) as its average velocity. This is because even though the object is slowing down, it is still moving in the direction of its average velocity.

The following statements are false:

  1. If an object is speeding up, then the sign (positive or negative) of its acceleration is opposite to the sign of its velocity. This is false because when an object is speeding up, its velocity and acceleration are in the same direction.

  2. If an object is slowing down, then its acceleration has the same sign (positive or negative) as its velocity. This is false because when an object is slowing down, its velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions.

  3. If an object is speeding up, then the sign (positive or negative) of its displacement is opposite to the sign of its velocity. This is false because when an object is speeding up, it is moving in the direction of its velocity.

  4. If an object is slowing down, then the sign (positive or negative) of its displacement is opposite to the sign of its average velocity. This is false because even though the object is slowing down, it is still moving in the direction of its average velocity.
