A freely-falling watermelon falls with constant
A)velocity.
B)speed.
C)acceleration.
D)distances each successive second.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A freely-falling object, such as a watermelon, falls under the influence of gravity and experiences a constant acceleration of approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This means that its velocity increases by approximately 9.81 meters per second every second it falls. Therefore, Choice C) acceleration is the best choice. Choices A) and D) do not accurately describe the motion of a freely-falling object, while Choice B) does not account for the fact that the watermelon's speed is increasing as it falls.
