Directions: For each example, put positively accelerating, negatively accelerating, or not accelerating.

Positive acceleration: The velocity of the object is increasing. The object is speeding up.
Negative acceleration: The velocity of the object is decreasing. The object is slowing down.
No acceleration: The velocity is of the object is staying constant or the object is not moving at all.
