A scooter moves in the forward direction (taken as positive). Its velocity is +12 m/s+12\,\text{m/s} at t=0t = 0 and +20 m/s+20\,\text{m/s} at t=4 st = 4\,\text{s}. Answer the following: (i) Is the scooter speeding up or slowing down? (ii) What is the sign (positive or negative) of its acceleration? Briefly justify.
