A particle has a velocity u towards east at t=0 , its acceleration is  towards west and is constant , let xa and xb be the magnitude of displacements in the first 10 seconds and next  10 seconds . Which of the following is true  (a) xa<xb    (b) xa = xb     (c) xa>xb   (d) information is insufficient to decide relation between xa and xb 

Dear student,
Let the acceleration be a and the initial velocity of a particle be u.
Since it is acting in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the particle.
So it is convenient to have acceleration as -a.
