That means that something is moving down.
It is the downward gradient of the graph.
At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.
The magnitude of the velocity will increase. The velocity will be downward - and since it increases, the acceleration will be downward. The acceleration doesn't change (it will remain constant at about 9.8 m/sec2), unless air resistance becomes significant.
Because there's a constant downward vertical force on the ball, so it must accelerate downward. If you give it an initial upward velocity, the magnitude of that upward velocity must steadily decrease, and it must eventually dwindle to zero and then become downward velocity. The constant downward vertical force on the ball is the force of attraction between the mass of the ball and the mass of the Earth, caused by gravity.
The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity doesn't change, until the projectile hits somethingor falls to the ground.The vertical component of a projectile's velocity becomes [9.8 meters per second downward] greatereach second. At the maximum height of its trajectory, the projectile's velocity is zero. That's the pointwhere the velocity transitions from upward to downward.
Downward velocity is considered a negative. This is a true statement.
It is the downward gradient of the graph.

Yes, but only for a single instant in time. When you throw a golf ball or a rock straight up, it has the constant downward acceleration of gravity from the moment it leaves your hand, but its velocity is certainly not constant. The velocity steadily decreases until the peak of the toss, and then it switches from upward to downward velocity. At the very peak, the velocity is zero for an instant.
Terminal Velocity.
Yes, both are directed downward.
This means your velocity is decreasing with time, or in other words, the object is slowing down.
Gravity adds 32.1 feet per second to the bullet's downward velocity every second after the shot is fired.
