We will have the following:

* The dog walks at a constant speed of 1 m/s in a straight line east. [Not accelerating].

* The dog speeds up from 1 m/s to 7 m/s as he runs away from a cat that scared him. [Accelerating].

* The dog walks at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s in a circle around a bowl of food. [Not accelerating].

* The dog stand in one spot on his bed. [Not accelerating].

* The dog slows down to a stop as he approaches the fence at the edge of the yard. [Accelerating].
