It is difficult to answer this question in the case of a varied movement. We can say that it is going faster and faster.
The tracks tell us a lot about the movement of bodies; the data tables tell us much more.

 . Trajectory and speed
 . Find out how it moves
Uniform movement
 . Constant speed
 . How fast is it going?
 . Data table
 . Circular
 . Compare the speeds
