is my starter going bad?

Hey,

I just bought a 72 f100. It started fine about ten times. Now I have to try 5 or so times to get it started. The battery is new. When you turn the key it turns over for about three seconds then stops turning and makes a little whining/spinning noise. What is this noise? Is the starter going bad? Sometimes if I just turn the key a few times quickly it seems to help get it started instead of turning the key and holding it. Thanks for your help!
