Types of Acceleration:
| Positive Acceleration | Negative Acceleration | Zero Acceleration |
| Occurs when an object's velocity increases over time. | Occurs when an object's velocity decreases over time. | Occurs when an object's velocity remains constant (no change in speed or direction). |
| Acceleration is in the same direction as velocity. | Acceleration is in the opposite direction to velocity. | Acceleration is neither in the direction of nor opposite to velocity because there is no change in velocity. |
| For example, a car speeding up on a highway. | Example: A bicycle slowing down before a stop. | Example: A car moving at a steady speed on a straight road. |

| S.No. | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| 1 | Negative acceleration | The velocity of the object remains constant. | A car, initially at rest reaches a velocity of 50 km/hr in 10 seconds. |
| 2 | Positive acceleration | The velocity of the object decreases. | A vehicle is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s. |
| 3 | Zero acceleration | The velocity of the object increases. | A vehicle moving with the velocity of 10 m/s, stops after 5 seconds. |
