Question

Use the graph of velocity vs. time for an object to answer the question.

Velocity versus time graph with segments A (constant positive velocity), B (decreasing positive velocity), C (zero velocity), D (increasing negative velocity), E (constant negative velocity).

During which of the labeled time segments is the object moving forward but slowing down?
