Any falling object that gains a velocity of 10 m/s each second has an acceleration of A)10 m/s. B)10 m/s². C)both of these D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. In this case, the velocity of the falling object is increasing by 10 m/s each second, which means the acceleration is 10 m/s per second, or 10 m/s². This matches option B. Option A, 10 m/s, is incorrect because that would be the velocity, not the acceleration. Option C is incorrect because it mistakenly includes option A. Option D is incorrect because there is a definite acceleration.
