Question

a quantity has a value of-6.0m/s.it may be the?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This quantity is the velocity of the object.

Explanation:

The units of the quantity suggest that either it is the speed or velocity of an object. Since speed is a scalar quantity and a scalar quantity is never negative , this must be the velocity. Velocity is vector quantity which requires direction along with magnitude so it can be negative. As per general rule objects travelling towards right have a positive velocity and those moving towards left  have negative velocity.
