Eric Moody · Answer 1

- - When the object's acceleration is in the same direction

as its velocity, the object's speed increases.

- - When the object's acceleration is in the direction opposite to

its velocity, the object's speed decreases.

- - When the object's acceleration is in the direction perpendicular

to its velocity, its speed doesn't change, but its direction does.
