when
A) the acceleration is constant.
C) acceleration is constantly increasing
B) the velocity is zero.
D) acceleration is constantly decreasing
5. Two objects were dropped from the same height with an interval of one second. If there is no air
Resistance, what can you say about the difference in their speed?
A) increases
C) remains constant
B) decreases
D) cannot be determined
6. An object is moving forward with constant non-zero acceleration. The velocity versus time graph
of this object is
A) a curve.
B) a vertical straight line.
7. If the velocity versus time graph of an object is a horizontal line, the object is
A) at rest
C) moving with zero acceleration
B) moving with increasing speed.
D) moving with constant non-zero acceleration.
