A. Acceleration is positive and speed is increasing.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>The motion performed by a runner is part of a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration.
Equation used
vf = final velocity
vi = vo = initial velocity
When a runner moves from rest, his speed will increase from being at rest (vi=0) and then move with a constant acceleration(a), and as soon as he crosses the finish line his acceleration will decrease (experience a deceleration ⇒a=- ) and decrease his speed until it finally stops
Velocity and speed are different because velocity itself is a vector quantity that takes into account direction and displacement, while speed is a scalar quantity (only distance).
So the speed does not take positive or negative values because it involves direction, while acceleration takes positive and negative values (deceleration) because it takes direction.
