Now, you might be tempted to say we're done, but remember they're not asking us is the velocity of the particle increasing or decreasing. They're asking us is the speed of the particle increasing or decreasing. If you're saying, hey, how did I know that? Just remember acceleration is just the rate of change of velocity. If acceleration is negative, that means the rate of change of velocity is negative. It's just going down. Anyway, how do we address this speed issue?
