You throw a rock upward. the rock is moving upward, but it is slowing down. if we define the ground as the origin, the position of the rock is and the velocity of the rock is

a. positive, positive
b. positive, negative
c. negative, positive
d. negative, negative

A. Positive, positive

Explanation:

As we defined the ground is the origin, as long as the rock is above the ground, its position would always be positive.

As for velocity, as long as the rock is moving upwards, its direction is also upward, so its velocity is always positive. The velocity will become negative when the rock falls down.

the answer is horst.

explanation:

in physical geography and geology, a horst is a raised fault block bounded by normal faults. a horst is a raised block of the earth's crust that has lifted, or has remained stationary, while the land on either side has subsided. the word horst in dutch and german means heap – cognate with english "hurst".
