Answer
The particle's position is negative.
The particle's velocity is negative.
The acceleration is also negative.
Work Step by Step
The particle position is below zero on the y-axis, so its position is negative.
The particle is moving down, so its velocity is negative.
The particle’s speed is increasing as it moves in the negative direction, so its acceleration vector points in the same direction as its velocity vector (i.e., down). Thus, the acceleration is also negative.
