A ceiling fan appears to rotate clockwise when observed from directly below. If the fan is speeding up, what are the signs of its instantaneous angular velocity ω\omega and angular acceleration α\alpha when the right-hand rule is followed? (Take anticlockwise as positive.) a) ω\omega negative, α\alpha positive b) ω\omega positive, α\alpha positive c) ω\omega negative, α\alpha negative d) ω\omega positive, α\alpha negative
