When a falling object gains 10 m/s each second, its acceleration is A)10 m/s. B)10 m/s². C)directed upward. D)steadily increasing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct unit for acceleration is m/s^2. Since the object gains 10 m/s each second, its acceleration is 10 m/s^2. Additionally, acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, so as the velocity of the falling object increases by the same amount each second, its acceleration is also steadily increasing. The direction of acceleration is not specified in the given information.
