A stoplight 20 m to the west turns yellow. Your car is traveling west at 12 m/s.

You hit the brakes and decelerate at a rate of 6.0 m/s2. Your car stops before it reaches the stoplight (which is considered to be at the origin).

A student in a physics class made a picture of this.

to = 0 s xo = + 20 m vo = 12 m/s a = 6.0 m/s2

Which ofstudent the following is labeled wrong? Did the mislabel anything?
1 2 3 4 5 xo vo a a & vo all of the values are correct

A stoplight 20 m to the west turns yellow. Your car is traveling west at 12 m/s. You hit the brakes and decelerate at a rate of 6.0 m/s2. Your car stops before it reaches the stoplight (which is considered to be at the origin).

A student in a physics class made a picture of the situation but did not include the signs of the variables.
