have you ever thrown a ball into the air?
have you ever dropped a stone off a bridge?

anonymous · Answer

throwing the ball into the air is the example of it speeding up?

mrnood · Answer

does it keep on going (faster)? - or does it stop and come back again?

anonymous · Answer

It keeps on going, so naturally the example of throwing it into the air is having it speed up? Thanks!

mrnood · Answer

throw  a ball up in the air - catch it when it comes back down. Did it STOP at the top?

anonymous · Answer

I suppose you could say that it stopped for a moment at the top.
